US Extradition
Extradition to the United States

Sweden is bound by different extradition agreements. It is not meant to grant onwards extradition to a third country without agreement from the extraditing country. But at the same level of the legal hierarchy there is a bilateral treaty between the US and Sweden that allows for extradition without consent from the UK or minimum tests. This is the ’conditional release’ regime - a legal fiction that allows for automatic extradition - on a loan basis. It is highly likely that the United States will soon request Julian Assange’s extradition and this legal fiction will be used.

There are several main reasons for Julian Assange’s challenge to Sweden’s extradition order. Relevant to this topic, they are:
1) Julian Assange has not been charged with any offense.

2) Sweden has a bilateral agreement with the United States which would allow it to surrender Julian Assange without going through the traditional tests and standards of regular ’extradition’ procedures.

3) There are standard EU mechanisms (such as Mutual Legal Assistance) for Julian Assange to answer any questions the Swedish government may have. It is disproportionate, and an abuse, to use extradition proceedings in this manner.
