Residing in the UAE also wouldn't prevent extraordinary rendition should it come to that...

No need to go that far. The lack of an extradition treaty doesn’t preclude extradition. Instead of having a formalized process in place it would have to be done case by case. This is a common misconception about extradition treaties in general.
And sometimes you’re safe despite the existence of an extradition treaty. France has a bunch of extradition treaties but they’ll only let them be used against non-citizens.
A lot of countries will only really extradite non-citizens, especially the more powerful they are.
Deportation often amounts to a facto extradition.
Just say kidnapping. It's not like it's North America's first time.
