Recent French Extradition Cases This section of the appendix contains the first published collection of recent French extradition cases dealing with the application of the political offense exception to terrorists. Because of the selective fashion in which French decisional law is reported, many French extradition cases are never reproduced in any French case reporter. The purpose of this appendix is to provide an English speaking audience with the substance of opinions which are otherwise nearly impossible to obtain. The editors hope that this collection will aid comparative research and contribute to an informed debate on the political offense exception. All of the cases reproduced below are from the various courts of appeal, as the French extradition statute excludes Supreme Court review in extra- dition cases (although the Conseil D'Etatmay occasionally act, generally post facto).
