Özet:

 Although the exact origins of international law remain uncertain, the cultural elements inherited from the historical experiences of societies have significantly influenced the legal systems and institutions they developed. In this context, examining the international legal system requires taking into account each societys unique historical and cultural background. From this perspective, the present study explores the topic along two developmental dimensions: historical and legal. The institution of extradition, in fact, has ancient roots. While it was initially applied primarily to political crimes, it began to be implemented predominantly for ordinary crimes from the 19th century onward. In Ottoman legal literature, the extradition of criminals iade-i mücrimin was typically carried out through bilateral agreements between states. Accordingly, the Ottoman Empire adopted the practice of incorporating extradition provisions into its treaties, thus formalizing the institution. As a result, extradition became a prominent subject of interest for Ottoman jurists and received extensive coverage in international law textbooks taught in Ottoman law schools. A review of these works reveals that various aspects of the institution were discussed in detail.

 Uluslararası hukukun ne zaman ortaya çıktığı tam olarak bilinememesine rağmen toplumların tarihlerinden devraldıkları kültürel unsurlar, oluşturacakları hukuku ve kurumları etkilemiştir. Bu bağlamda uluslararası hukuk sistemi incelenirken her toplumun kendi tarihsel-kültürel birikimi göz önüne alınmalıdır. Bu düşünceden hareketle çalışmada konunun tarihi ve hukuki olmak üzere iki gelişim ekseni ele alınmıştır. Nitekim suçluların iadesi hususu eski tarihlere dayanan bir müessesedir. Esasında ilk devirlerde siyasi suçlar için uygulanan iade kurumu 19. yüzyıl ile birlikte çoğunlukla adi suçlar için uygulanır olmuştur. Osmanlı hukuk literatüründe iade-i mücrimin olarak adlandırılan suçluların iadesi çoğu kez devletlerin aralarında yaptıkları ikili antlaşmalar sonucunda görülmekteydi. Bu bağlamda Osmanlı Devleti usul olarak imzaladığı antlaşmalara suçluların iadesine dair hükümler ekletmiş ve böylelikle müessesenin uygulanması yolu tercih edilmiştir. Neticede suçluların iadesi hususu Osmanlı hukukçuları tarafından üzerinde ehemmiyetle durulan konulardan biri olması sebebiyle Osmanlı hukuk mekteplerinde okutulan devletlerarası hukuk kitaplarının içerisinde kendisine genişçe yer bulmuştur. İncelenen eserlerde iade kurumunun tanımı, tarihçesi, işleyiş süreci gibi birçok hususun ayrıntılı şekilde anlatıldığı belirlenmiştir.
