Dear hummer-ga,

What I wanted was a list of the countries that do NOT have an
extradition treaty with Canada.  Thanks.

Dear vancouver2010,

See the second list. I had to find the the shorter list of countries
with treaties first before I could figure out the countries without
treaties.

Please let me know if you have any other questions,
hummer

I agree with the comment by myoarin-ga that it is suprising to say the
least that Commenwealth countries do no appear to have extradition
treaties with Canada.  Can this be correct?  I am sure there is some
reciprocal agreements in place that would facilitate extradition at
least between Commenwealth countries.

Hi vancouver2010 and myoarin,

Your original question concerned extradition treaties. Although my
answer is technically correct, I'm sorry for not expanding to include
details of the British Commonwealth Nations, it was an omission on my
part. Please see the following link for an explanation of how the
Commonwealth Nations are distinguished from countries with Extradition
Treaties:

"The Fugitive Offenders Act (1882) provides a scheme to return
fugitives to and from Canada with Commonwealth States. The Extradition
Act (1877) governs extradition to and from all other countries with
which Canada has an extradition treaty. The procedure differs
depending on which act is in play. In addition, neither acts allow for
extradition under modern multilateral conventions nor do they permit
surrender to an international criminal court or tribunal, or to a
non-treaty state."
"Canada is a party to 49 bilateral extradition treaties with foreign
states and eight multilateral conventions which contain "extradite or
prosecute" provisions. Current legislation makes it difficult for
Canada to comply with those international obligations."

Thanks to myoarin for keeping on top of things.

I was suprised that the UK and other Commonwealth countries have no
extradition treaties with Canada.  Could it be that the Commonwealth
has some other mutual arrangement?

Some of the 'nations' listed are actually parts of other countries,
e.g., American Samoa. The Northern Mariana Islands, as I recall, are
in 'free association' with the US, and is probably covered by US
treaties. Guam, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands are incorporated
territories of the US (they send delegates to the Congress!) and
extradition to Canada is absolutely covered by the US treaty. Federal
States of Micronesia are also in association with the US, as I recall;
the Marshall islands are also US, but I forget the exact
constititional relationship.

Svalbard and Jan Mayen Islands are part of Norway. St. Pierre and
Miquelon as well as Martinique are constitional parts of France (they
have delagates in the French National Assembly); Reunion Island, as I
recall, is also a part of France. The Faroes are federated with
Denmark. I believe Heard and McDonald Islands are attached to
Australia, as may be Wallis and Futuna Islands (but I don't know; I'd
have to google). Macao, I believe, is still a Portuguese colony.

With the Holy See, extradition would be covered by the Vatican's
relationship to Italy via the Lateran Treaty.
