Description[?]:
| Beitenyu is at particular risk of being attacked by overseas terrorists, and because of this our government depends heavily upon the co-operation of other governments in bringing these criminals to justice. However, Beitenyu's current extradition laws make it more difficult for us to obtain this vital co-operation. We are opened up to the charge of hypocrisy. Why should other governments hand over our criminals when we don't hand over theirs?
