This legal document, authored by French lawyer William Julié on December 18, 2020, is a response to a U.S. government memorandum concerning a defendant's release. Julié critiques the U.S. government's reliance on a letter from the French Minister of Justice, arguing it misinterprets French extradition law by ignoring the supremacy of international treaties, such as the extradition treaty between the USA and France, over domestic statutes. The core argument is that France may indeed be able to extradite its own citizens under these treaties, contrary to the U.S. government's position.
