Projet de loi autorisant l’approbation de la convention d’extradition entre le Gouvernement de la République française et le Gouvernement de la République de Colombie

This French National Assembly bill would authorise France to approve an extradition agreement between the French Republic and the Republic of Colombia. Extradition treaties set out the conditions under; which one state can hand over a person located on its territory to another state so that they can be prosecuted or serve a sentence. Ratifying the convention would give it binding legal effect in France. The main people affected are individuals sought by French or Colombian authorities for criminal prosecution or sentencing who may be located in the other country. The bill itself concerns the parliamentary approval step, and the specific obligations would be defined in the treaty text, which is not summarised here.
