ಮೇನ್ಸ್

GS2 (International Relations): Extradition treaties are tools of legal cooperation against transnational crime and terrorism. The Extradition Act, 1962 provides India's domestic framework, while bilateral treaties like the one with Kazakhstan give it operational force. Implications include deeper security ties with Central Asia; the way forward lies in faster execution of requests, safeguards on human rights and wider mutual legal assistance.
