specialty doctrine

Read a random definition: apposite

A quick definition of specialty doctrine:

The specialty doctrine is a rule in international law that is included in most extradition treaties. It means that if a person is sent to another country to be tried for certain crimes, they can only be tried for those crimes and not for any other crimes they may have committed before they were extradited. This rule is also known as the doctrine of specialty and is meant to protect people from being unfairly punished for crimes they were not extradited for.

A more thorough explanation:

The specialty doctrine is a principle in international law that is included in most extradition treaties. It states that a person who is extradited to a country to stand trial for certain criminal offenses may only be tried for those offenses and not for any other pre-extradition offenses.

For example, if a person is extradited from the United States to Canada to stand trial for drug trafficking, they can only be tried for that specific offense. They cannot be tried for any other crimes they may have committed before they were extradited.

The specialty doctrine is important because it protects individuals from being unfairly prosecuted for crimes they did not agree to be extradited for. It ensures that the extradition process is fair and just for all parties involved.
