Conclusion

Extradition involves the legal transfer of individuals accused or convicted of crimes from one state to another for trial or punishment. It aims to achieve justice through international criminal cooperation. Asylum provides sanctuary to those at risk of persecution due to race, religion, nationality or political opinions. Both areas have evolved significantly over time. Extradition developed as a matter of state procedure under sovereign rulers, but now operates under an agreed set of international rules that have adapted to new crimes like terrorism. Asylum balances protection obligations with the burden on applicants to prove eligibility.

CONCLUSION
In brief, Extradition is the term assigned to the systematic legal mechanism by which persons
charged or convicted of wrongdoing are submitted for trial or penalty from one State to
another. It is a form of international criminal collaboration aimed at achieving justice.
Extradition trials are a somewhat specific form of judicial practice. This does not require any
criminal case being created. It is targeted at aiding cases in the administrative authority of
another State that are or have not yet took effect.

Asylum means offering sanctuary to those at risk and in danger, in compliance with States’
obligations under international refugee law, human rights law and customary international
law. Asylum can be granted to people who are unable or unwilling to return to their home
country because of persecution or a well-founded fear of persecution on account of race,
religion nationality, membership in a particular social group or political opinion. Applicants
have the burden of proving that they are eligible for asylum.

Over time, both areas have undergone significant legal and practical developments. On the
one hand, extradition has developed since the 18th century, as it is deemed a matter of state
procedure and has been a law term solely under the power of sovereign rulers.

Extradition thus came under the auspices of a set of rules which largely represent a agreement
among States and which, in reaction to novel types of crime and security issues, have
significantly modified, such as the appearance after the 1970s of an international terrorism
threat. It has contributed to other limitations on the basis of denial of extradition and
simplification.
