Deportation/expulsion

A parallel issue to extradition. A state, when receiving a request for extradition, may prefer to deport or expulse a person. This may be where there is either no treaty basis to extradition between the states concerned, where the requested state cannot grant the extradition request, or simply in order to avoid lengthy extradition procedure. This is sometimes termed “disguised” or “veiled” extradition. For a recent consideration of deportation or expulsion by the Council of Europe, see here.
