Share:A meeting of the special ministerial committee to discuss the extradition treaty between Pakistan and the United Kingdom (UK) was held here with Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed in the chair. The ministers after reviewing the recommendations of the extradition treaty gave final approval and decided to share the same with the UK government. After the consultation with the UK government, the draft will be presented before the federal cabinet for the go-ahead. The first round of the discussion about the extradition treaty was held in October 2019. Currently, no formal extradition treaty exists between Pakistan and the UK through Section 194 of the UK Extradition Act 2003 contains provisions for special “ad hoc” extradition arrangements.
