What are the procedural safeguards required in an extradition hearing?
Manitoba, Canada
The following excerpt is from United States of America v. Turenne, 1999 CanLII 14200 (MB QB):
When determining the level of procedural safeguards, considerations of context and policy objectives become important. The level of procedural safeguards required must be considered within the parameters of the modest role of the extradition judge. Also, as a general statement, it may be said that courts have been cautious in their application of the Charter to extradition proceedings (United States of America v. Dynar (1997), 1997 CanLII 359 (SCC), 115 C.C.C. (3d) 481 (S.C.C.)).
