Question

An accused is extradited for a particular crime and the country which gets back the criminal is entitled to prosecute that person only for the crime for which he was extradited. This is known as

• A. Rule of peculiarity
• B. Rule of specialty
• C. Rule of specificity
• D. Attendant clause

Hint:

The Rule of Specialty protects extradited individuals from prosecution for unrelated crimes, a key principle in extradition treaties.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The Rule of specificity in international law stipulates that a person extradited for a specific crime can only be prosecuted for that crime in the receiving state, ensuring fairness in extradition proceedings. Thus, the correct answer is: \[ {\text{Rule of specificity}} \]
