tice and thus no statute of limitations would have been extended to him. The extradition process of Demjanjuk because it only involves two countries would appear to be an easy process to complete. Even when countries are cooperative, as were the United States and Israel, concerning extradition it is clear that issues such as identification and probable cause, requirement of criminality, extraterritoriality, and extratemporality demonstrate how complex the process of extradition can be.

Certainly, Israel could have avoided the complexities and length of time involved in extradition and gone about obtaining Demjanjuk the same way they obtained Eichmann, but that method, although it was effective, caused a bit of a commotion in the international community.

Adolf Eichmann of the Reich Security Main Office was the alleged strategist behind the so-called 'final solution of the Jewish question.'10 There have been roughly six million murders attributed to him, so it is easy to understand why concentration camp survivors spent fifteen years searching for him. Perseverance paid off when Eichmann was found in Argentina living under an assumed name.

A group of volunteers, some of whom were Israeli citizens acting without the support or direction of the Israeli Government, removed Eichmann from Argentina and brought him to Israel where they turned him over to government so that a trial could take place. So far it can be seen that this method of extradition is quicker and less complicated than the Demjanjuk method of extradition. There is no need for identification or probable cause, requirement of dual criminality, extraterritoriality, or extratemporality. The process is as simple as it sounds; Eichmann was found and Eichmann was removed. Although the method for extradition of Eichmann was quick it did result in leaving Argentina very upset. Argentina felt that Israel's exercise of authority upon Argentine territory was an infringement on its sovereignty.

Israel defended itself by claiming that Eichmann left Argentina voluntarily, and the Israeli Government claimed that the group that removed Eichmann was working under its own direction and not that of the Israeli Government. Israel even went so far as to issue a letter expressing their regrets for the actions taken by the free acting group: If the volunteer group violated Argentine law or interfered with matters within the sovereignty of Argentina, the Government of Israel wishes to express its regrets.11 Argentina's rejoined that even if Eichmann left Argentina on his own free will that Israel should be responsible for the actions of the private persons who were Israeli citizens.

One simple point to be made here in reply to Argentina's argument is that only some of the persons involved with the Eichmann removal were Israeli citizens. There is a small possibility that the persons who were Israeli citizens were only mere accessories to the act, guilty of only marginal involvement. Furthermore, the responsibility of states in connection with the acts of private persons is predicated upon territorial jurisdiction and not the 本论文由英语论文网提供整理，提供论文代写，英语论文代写，代写论文，代写英语论文，代写留学生论文，代写英文论文，留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。
