The Extradition Act 2003 (c. 41) is an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom which regulates extradition requests by and to the United Kingdom. The Act came into force on 1 January 2004. It transposed the European Arrest Warrant framework decision into British law and implemented the UK side of the controversial UK–US extradition treaty of 2003 before the treaty came into force in April 2007 after being ratified by the United States Senate in 2006.{{cite web |work=The Human Rights Implications of UK Extradition Policy |author=Human Rights Joint Committee |title=The UK's bilateral extradition treaties: US-UK Extradition Treaty 2003 |date=22 June 2011 |url=https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/jt201012/jtselect/jtrights/156/15608.htm |accessdate=8 August 2012}}{{Cite news|quote=Ratification had been slowed by complaints from some Irish- American groups that the treaty would create new legal jeopardy for U.S. citizens who opposed British policy in Northern Ireland. |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aEgU_TIgfK1U&refer=home|title=Senate Unanimously Ratifies US, UK Extradition Treaty|last=Torres|first=Carlos|date=30 September 2006|publisher=Bloomberg L.P.|accessdate=12 September 2008}}
