Questions presented

  1. Whether under this Court’s precedent in United States v. Rauscher supra, 119 U.S. 407, 430 (1886), individuals have standing to assert violations of an extradition treaty, irrespective of whether the foreign sovereign raises an objection.

  2. Whether excessive and punitive pretrial restraints impaired petitioner’s right to counsel, a defense, and compulsory due process.
