"Until its justice system and civil rights protections catch up  .... there are satisfactory alternatives to extradition." Satisfactory? That's absurd on so many levels. Here's how it works: Another country alleges a crime, for one of its citizens, which took place in that country, who is now in Canada. You want to use our resources, mostly financial, to prosecute their citizen, with most if not all the evidence & witnesses in that other country, and backlog our our judicial system so that justice is delayed for Canadian criminals, or, they are set free because of trial delay? Absurd.
