  • Could we send convicted druggies to China for execution

    We can't do it, so it would seem make sense to outsource.

    We could do it, but we don't want to. So it stands to reason
    we also wouldn't want to outsource it either.

    I believe the way the obligations to the ECHR prevent that. Extraditions
    from the UK are subject to guarantees that the death penalty is off the
    table.

    Of course a sovereign nation could promise that, and then renege on it.
    However nations that renege on international treaties tend to suffer in
    the long term.
