Line 9:
In an extradition process, one sovereign jurisdiction typically makes a formal request to another sovereign jurisdiction ("the requested state"). If the fugitive is found within the territory of the requested state, then the requested state may arrest the fugitive and subject them to its extradition process.<ref name = "Stigall" /> The extradition procedures to which the fugitive will be subjected are dependent on the law and practice of the requested state.<ref name = "Stigall" />
Between countries, extradition is normally regulated by [[treaties]]. Where extradition is compelled by laws, such as among sub-national jurisdictions, the concept may be known more generally as [[Rendition (law)|rendition]]. It is an ancient mechanism, dating back to at least the 13th century BCE, when an Egyptian [[pharaoh]], [[Ramesses II]], negotiated an extradition treaty with a [[Hittite king]], [[Hattusili III]].<ref name="Stigall">{{cite
