The term 'extraordinary rendition' is used to refer to a variety of practices by US authorities involving the transfer of individuals from one country into another, without any form of judicial or administrative process such as extradition. These practices, often carried out in secret, include transferring [[War on Terror]] detainees into the custody of other states, taking custody of individuals from foreign authorities and abducting suspects on foreign soil, in contravention to the 1992 UN Declaration on the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance, and the draft International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance. There is ample evidence that this is a form of 'torture export'; while carrying out torture against suspected 'enemy combatants' would be dangerous on American soil (as it would make the US government directly responsible), if it takes place in another country, which has less image to lose on the subject of human rights, it is safer for American officials. <ref>http://web.amnesty.org/pages/stoptorture-yemencase1-eng
