Important Caveats
- Multilateral conventions (e.g., European Convention on Extradition, UN conventions against terrorism, corruption, drug trafficking) may still provide a legal basis for extradition for specific crimes even without a bilateral treaty.
- Ad hoc extradition is possible via diplomatic channels, though rare and politically sensitive.
- EU members all have extradition arrangements with Greece via the European Arrest Warrant framework (not a treaty per se, but binding).
- List changes: Treaties are signed/ratified periodically; verify with Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs or legal counsel for current status.
Extradition is complex — absence of a treaty does not guarantee safe haven.
