UK: Parliamentary Joint Human Rights Committee report: The Human Rights Implications of UK Extradition Policy (pdf)

See: Call for overhaul of UK extradition rules (BBC News, link): "The UK's extradition arrangements with the US and the EU must be overhauled to better protect rights of individuals, a committee of MPs and peers is arguing. It said safeguards in US cases were "inadequate", more evidence was needed to justify requests and judges should be able to refuse them if they were not in the "interests of justice"."

Statewatch Analysis: The new UK-US Extradition Treaty (pdf) by Ben Hayes published in 2003
