This legal document, signed by Philippe JAEGLE of the French Office of International Criminal Mutual Legal Assistance, outlines France's policy on the extradition of its nationals. It states that based on a 1996 bilateral treaty, France systematically refuses to extradite French citizens to the United States, a principle that applies to all non-EU countries. However, an exception exists within the European Union, where the European Arrest Warrant mandates extradition between member states, overriding the principle of non-extradition of nationals.
This legal document, filed in a U.S. court case, is a statement from Philippe Jaegle of the French Office of International Mutual Legal Assistance. It explains that under French law and its 1996 extradition treaty with the U.S., France systematically refuses to extradite its own nationals. The document contrasts this with the system within the European Union, where, due to a high level of integration and shared legal standards, member states cannot refuse extradition of their nationals to other member states solely on the basis of nationality.
