Objective
The conference will examine the current international legal
framework concerning the surrender of persons with a comparison of the
existing reality in different regions of the globe.
The systems in force in the European Union (EU), China, Russia and the
USA, as well as the major current trends in practice in South America
and Africa, will be analysed and compared in detail by leading experts
and practitioners.
At EU level, the event will focus on the European Arrest Warrant (EAW),
which replaced the extradition system by requiring each national
judicial authority (the “executing” authority) to recognise, with a
minimum of formalities, requests for the surrender of a person made by
the judicial authority of another Member State (the “issuing”
authority). Examples of best practice and practical national experiences
will be presented and discussed.
Key topics
- Extradition and surrender of persons in China, Russia, USA, Europe, South America and Africa
- A continental and a common law approach within the European Union
- Roles and powers of Eurojust
Who should attend?
Judges, prosecutors, lawyers in private practice and ministry officials active in the field of EU criminal law.
