Dextradició

Dextradició is a term used in legal contexts, particularly in international law, to refer to the extradition of a person to a country that is located to their right. This geographical orientation is a literal interpretation of the Latin prefix "dextra," meaning right. The concept is not widely recognized in standard international extradition treaties or conventions, which typically focus on mutual legal assistance and the judicial process rather than directional considerations.

The practical application of dextradició is extremely limited and often considered more of a theoretical or niche concept. In most extradition scenarios, the direction of travel is determined by the location of the requesting state and the location of the requested state, and any directional designation is coincidental rather than a deliberate legal criterion. Legal scholars and practitioners generally do not employ dextradició as a standard term or legal principle in extradition proceedings. Its usage is primarily confined to discussions where a literal or symbolic interpretation of directionality is being explored, or potentially in historical or highly specific regional legal traditions that are not broadly adopted.
