      "title": "Extradition Between the United States and Great Britain: A Sketch of the 2003 Treaty",
      "summary": "Federal court denial of British extradition requests in the cases of four fugitives from Northern\nIreland led to the Supplementary Extradition Treaty. The Treaty proved controversial, and before\nthe Senate would give its consent, it insisted upon modifications, some quite unusual. Those\nmodifications have been eliminated in a newly negotiated treaty to which the Senate has recently\ngiven its advice and consent and which incorporates features often more characteristic of\ncontemporary extradition treaties with other countries.\n The Senate conditioned its approval of the Treaty upon an understanding, two declarations and\nthree provisos which relate to the Treaty's treatment of the exception for politically motivated\nrequests and the role of the courts, its changes in the double jeopardy clause, assurances that the\nTreaty is not designed to accomplish the extradition of fugitives from Northern Ireland covered by\nthe Belfast/Good Friday Agreement, and reporting requirements concerning the disposition of\nrequests under the Treaty. This report is an abridged version (without footnotes or citations) of  CRS Report RL32096(pdf) ,  Extradition Between the United States and Great Britain: The 2003\nTreaty .",
