Netherlands Likely to Reject Kaiser Extradition Demand
The Dutch government is expected to refuse the allied extradition request for former Kaiser Wilhelm I as the allies insist, citing treaties and law. Officials say Article IV of the Dutch constitution secures equal protection, with treaties from 1887 to 1898 guiding extradition. The response may stress that the alleged offenses are not listed in those treaties and are new crimes not recognized by signatory powers. Public opinion backs the government, and the United States’ non-signature is noted.
