Hide and Seek - China’s Extradition Problem: A manual on countering extradition to China
Hide and Seek, China’s Extradition Problem: A Manual on Countering Extradition to China is an indispensable resource for those working on China’s extradition system, whether legal practitioners engaged in defending against extraditions to China, academics studying China’s use of international law, or journalists covering extraditions and other forms of transnational repression emanating from China. It is also a fundamental resource for lawmakers and human rights advocates engaged in countering China’s international influence and the manipulation of multilateral institutions around the world.
This first edition presents a first of its kind systematic examination of China’s extradition problem through a detailed study of international extradition norms, international human rights law, and how these apply to China in particular. It also analyzes these issues from a practical point of view, namely, how to best present material to courts to have extraditions denied.
Hide and Seek focuses on the denial of fair trial rights, the rate and risk of torture, and the fundamental unreliability of China’s diplomatic assurances. Drawing heavily from European case law and European Court of Human Rights’ decisions regarding key extradition cases, the manual shows how previous judgments rejecting extradition requests in other jurisdictions present a clear path for legal and political decisions regarding extraditions to China. The legal analysis is complemented by a series of country case studies, drawn from emblematic cases where China has exploited extradition and related deportation systems in Africa, Latin America, and Asia in ways that violate international law.
Comprehensive and accessible, Hide and Seek, China’s Extradition Problem: A Manual on Countering Extradition to China examines this vital area of international human rights in practice. It is also an indispensable addition to the larger practice and study of countering China’s assault on international norms and transnational repression.
