A long line of Supreme Court and Circuit Court cases state that extradition treaties do not contemplate

the introduction of testimony of live witnesses at extradition proceedings. Yordi v. Nolte, 215 U.S. 227, 231

(1909) (To do otherwise “would defeat the whole object of the treaty.”); accord Bingham v. Bradley, 241 U.S.

511, 517 (1916); United States v. Zanazanian, 729 F.2d 624, 626-627 (9th Cir. 1984) (applying Bingham to

extradition to Sweden); Shapiro v. Ferrandina, 478 F.2d 894, 902 (2nd Cir. 1973) (obviating necessity of

confronting accused with witnesses against him is “one of the prime objects of bi-lateral extradition

agreements”); In the Matter of Surrender of Ntakirutimana, 988 F. Supp. 1038, 1042 (S.D. Tex. 1997), aff’d,

184 F.3d 419 (5th Cir. 1999).
