political-offense exception

Read a random definition: causa sine qua non

A quick definition of political-offense exception:

The political-offense exception is a rule that says a country cannot send someone back to another country if they are accused of a political crime. This means that if a person is accused of doing something that the government doesn't like, they can't be sent back to that country to be punished. This rule is in place in most countries and is meant to protect people from being punished for their political beliefs.

A more thorough explanation:

The political-offense exception is a clause in extradition treaties or legislation that limits a country's responsibility to extradite individuals who have committed political crimes. This means that if a person is accused of a political crime in one country and seeks refuge in another country, the second country may refuse to extradite them back to the first country.

For example, if a political activist is accused of organizing a protest that turned violent in their home country and seeks asylum in another country, the second country may refuse to extradite them back to their home country if they believe the charges are politically motivated.

The political-offense exception is a standard provision in almost all extradition treaties around the world and is also explicitly provided for in the domestic laws of many countries. This exception is important because it protects individuals from being persecuted for their political beliefs and activities.
