The only way she could be extradited is if her alleged crime constituted a crime in Canada. --- End quote --- I think this is not how most extradition treaties are written. Someone can be extradited from country C to country A if country A asserts said person has committed a crime and can be charged under the laws of country A. Even if that is not a crime in country C. And even if said person has never set foot in country A. --- End quote --- This is true, however, not having much details of the arrest available yet, my hope is that this arrest is an NPT ([Nuclear] Non-Proliferation Treaty) triggered UN Sanction - which will oblige all NPT nations to enforce the sanction as well. China is a funny case with NPT. At the time of the signing, Taiwan (ROC-Republic of China) was in the UN. When China (People's Republic of China) replaced ROC in the UN, it is unclear to me as to whether China "inherited" ROC's obligations. I hope it does, and I hope this is an NPT-triggered sanction arrest - and case adjudicated accordingly. If an NPT nation can enjoying the benefits of NPT while doing nuclear development anyway, that makes the whole NPT a joke. This would open the flood gates for any other NPT to do the same making the whole NPT meaningless. NPT is the UN treaty with the most signatories (198) and has been successful in controlling nuclear growth. If it becomes meaningless, nuclear weapons will grow like mushrooms. I would like to see this thin-thread tying down this pandora's box remains to keep the box secure. Plenty of nations with the dollars and ambition to buy/develop a bomb for themselves. We don't need another few dozen countries with a nuclear arsenal. |

I am sick of all the chinese garbage that flooded Canada. The world was a better place before china madness. |
