Kasi appealed ninety-one issues before the Supreme Court of Virginia, all of which were denied. One of Kasi's claims was that the treaty between the United States and the United Kingdom (which was Pakistan's colonial sovereign) should have applied to his extradition from Pakistan to United States. That treaty says that extradition is to be carried out according to the law of the country from which the prosecution seeks to extradite the defendant. Because the Supreme Court of Virginia and United States Supreme Court concluded that Kasi was not extradited, but - their word choice - was instead "kidnapped" by the FBI, they found that there was no violation of the treaty because the treaty did not even apply to his case.
