Talk:Ker–Frisbie doctrine

Untitled
This logic is not controversial, recent, or particular to the United States. Israel made the exact same determination in 1961 over the abduction of Adolf Eichmann to Israeli soil. A person in a country is subject to the laws of that country, even if they were abducted and sent there against their will. Such people do not have immunity from prosecution. That is a jurisprudential fact in any country whose legal system derives from the Roman/English legal paradigm. Which is over half the planet. This logic does not legitimize the initial abduction, which can still be pursued as a crime in the country where it happened. However, the fact of the abduction cannot be used to declare a mistrial in the country of destination. --76.217.81.152 19:21, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
