Abstract:
On the basis of four ‘irregular’ extradition cases, the author demonstrates that states sometimes violate generally accepted rules of extradition law. Legitimate grounds for the refusal of, as well as procedural impediments to extradition are evaded -for instance by simply kidnapping the individual involved. Also, the so-called ‘disguised extradition’ is used by states, when expelling a person in stead of extraditing him, but in fact accomplishing the same result. Despite such apparent failures in the procedure of obtaining an individual (‘male captus’), states maintain that the individuals can nevertheless be legitimately tried (‘bene judicatus’). According to the author, these practices are incompatible with certain general principles of international law.

Abstract:
Although EU states use the European Arrest Warrant (EAW) for the purpose of surrendering a person who is accused of committing an offence or who has been convicted of an offence, they use extradition when dealing with countries outside the EU. However, they use surrender when dealing with the International Criminal Court (ICC). Thus, extradition is one of the ways in which African and European countries (especially EU members) are cooperating in the fight against crime. Case law from courts in some African and European countries and from the European Court of Human Rights, the Human Rights Committee and the Committee against Torture, shows that extraditions between African and European countries have been delayed or hampered by allegations of human rights violations in the requesting state. These allegations have focused on mainly two rights: the right to a fair trial and the right to freedom from torture. The European Court of Human Rights has held that the extradition of a person should not go ahead if his or her trial was or will amount to a flagrant denial of justice or where there is a real risk of being subjected to torture. Although African courts and international human rights bodies have also held that extradition should not go ahead where there is a real risk that the person will be subjected to torture or where his/her trial will be unfair, they have not adopted the ‘flagrant denial of justice’ test. The case law also shows that some people have challenged the legal basis for their extradition. This article highlights this case law and suggests ways in which some of the challenges associated with extradition could be overcome. The article demonstrates that courts in some African and European countries have considered the nature of extradition enquiries. In some countries, such as Kenya, courts have held that extradition enquiries are criminal proceedings. However, in the United Kingdom, courts have held that extradition enquiries are criminal proceedings of a special type. There is consensus that extradition enquiries are not civil proceedings.

The present report was drafted for the IV Working Group that was engaged on the very current topic of the decision on the surrender/extradition to third (non-EU) States of own nationals, EU citizens and persons residing in the execution State. This report covers a few preliminary matters to introduce the topic of nationality bars in extradition law and sets out the newly born and rather unique concept of a ‘EU nationality’ bar in case of outward extradition. A number of theoretical and practical considerations are then offered to expose the strengths and weaknesses of the ground-breaking Petruhhin scheme. A number of recent developments in EU law in case of outward extraditions are also briefly reviewed. The discussions and results of the activities of the IV Working group are reported in a separate paper.

Abstract:
Abstract The extensibility of law enforcement, in the international arena, enters the modern worldview, which is influenced by the increasingly easy flow of human migration, causing many criminals to move to other countries to avoid punishment in the country where they committed the crime. So law enforcement requires that law enforcement be possible against crimes outside the territorial country where the crime occurred, or the return of the perpetrator to the country where the crime was committed by him. The formulation of the problem under study is how the conflict of norms between the extradition instrument and the deportation instrument in terms of law enforcement in Indonesia. The research method is normative research. The conclusion is that there is a conflict of norms between the extradition instrument and the deportation instrument in terms of law enforcement in Indonesia that in cases that should have been extraditioned but carried out deportation, English translation. so that it is inconsistent with the principle of Lex Superior derogat legi inferiori in terms of substanceThe Extradition Regulation is superior where in article 36 paragraph (2) of the Extradition Law the authority to carry out extradition is in the hands of the president, while in general immigration arrangements in the Immigration-Law including deportations are within the authority of the Minister.

Abstract:
The article deals with topical issues related to executing requests for extraditing a person for the resolution of a criminal case or the execution of a sentence, and analyzes norms of international legal acts and national legislation in post-Soviet countries. The lack of uniformity across post-Soviet countries on this issue is noted, since each post-Soviet country has its own characteristics. Carrying out an extradition is not only one procedural action; it consists of several procedural actions aimed at the actual transfer of the person. This article examines proceedings for the extradition of a person to a foreign state, which traditionally begins with the detention of that person on the international wanted list, a notification to a foreign state about the detention of that person on the international wanted list, and a request to send a request for extradition of that person, the receipt of that request for extradition, and verification of compliance with the request against norms of national legislation and norms of international treaties. Also involves are resolving the extradition of a person to a foreign state with a possible appeal against this decision, organizing a case regarding the actual transfer of a person. The author concludes that there are difficulties executing an extradition request that subsequently leads to non-execution of the request, and delay or refusal to extradite. In this process, the worst result is to import rules on the refusal of extradition without a reasonable assumption and justification for different purposes. In any case, the refusal to extradite people without a substantial reason will not lead to a good outcome: distrust of states can become the basis for damaged relations and non-extraditable persons. Ideas are proposed for improving criminal procedural legislation and law enforcement practice in this area, as well as the effectiveness of actions aimed at resolving this issue.

Abstract:
Extradition or delivery of a person who is accused or convicted is a legal process that enables the conduct of criminal proceedings and the execution of criminal sanctions against them in another country. Given that the process of extraditing the accused or convicted is regulated by law, the question of the position of the defense counsel in this process arises. By applying the normative method in this paper, through the analysis of statutory provisions and provisions of international treaties, the position of the defense counsel in extradition proceedings in the Republic of Serbia has been systematically presented, that is, their rights, duties, and powers at every stage of these proceedings with a critical overview of certain legal solutions. Furthermore, international standards related to the role and activities of the Committee against Torture and the European Court of Human Rights regarding the regulation and implementation of extradition proceedings and the position of the defense counsel in these proceedings are presented.

Abstract:
This article is devoted to the problematic aspects of the implementation of the extradition procedure when providing legal assistance. The author set a goal to investigate the main reasons for refusing to extradite a person in the context of ensuring human rights. The novelty elements are: it is substantiated that in modern conditions, under no circumstances should extradition violate human rights, which is determined by the anthropocentric vector of development of both domestic legal systems and international legal systems; it is proposed to distinguish between two types of extradition: interstate and international; the author proved that control over the observance of human rights by the extraditing state can include the following: the right to check the state of observance of human rights, the right to meet with the extradited person in order to find out his real situation, the right to demand a report from the requested state about the state of compliance with the rights of the extradited person, the right to demand the return of the extradited person in case of violation of his rights; a proposal was made to introduce at the level of the internal national legislation of states the extradition of all individuals, including their own citizens, who are suspected of committing international crimes or convicted of such crimes on the basis of a court verdict, which will contribute not only to making the situation impossible avoidance of the guilty from responsibility, but will also serve as a certain preventive measure. It is concluded that the extradition procedure is quite complicated, which may be accompanied by certain difficulties in practice, but this does not under any circumstances mean that the participants of such relations should level human rights.

Abstract:
The article examines the concepts and fundamental principles of extradition in criminal procedure law, reveals their essence and problems. Extradition is the extradition of a person to the State whose competent authorities are seeking him or her for prosecution or execution. But the European Convention on the Extradition of Offenders lacks the notion of "extradition" but instead uses the term "extradition", which some scholars see as synonymous, while others see in the term "extradition" a broader meaning. In general, it is necessary to mention the principles of extradition, which in the article there are seven, which is a complete list and their content is fully disclosed. The article also evaluations the contradictions between the approaches of scientists to determine the essence of the concept of extradition, but they all have common features. In the scientific literature, extradition can be considered in a broad and narrow sense. In general, the definition of extradition by scientists is more meaningful than the definition used in the regulations of our state. It should be noted that the procedural status of a person subject to extradition at the level of national legislation remains open and controversial, it is not perfectly defined and entails conflicts and inconsistencies in legal acts. Extradition relations are governed by various branches of law. which is described in detail in the article. It should also be added that the national legislation governing extradition relations needs to be supplemented and the existing contradictions eliminated in order to best implement the extradition process and high-quality international cooperation, as this is an integral part of the extradition institution. It is noted that extradition is an important element in the fight against transnational crime and aims to reduce its level and in general contributes to improving international relations and quality cooperation between the signatory states of the European Convention on the Extradition of Offenders. Extradition relations are constantly evolving and improving, which best affects the quality of this process and eliminates negative phenomenal in its implementation.

Abstract:
The research work delves into the evolution of African countries' approach to extradition over the course of history. Extradition, the legal process of surrendering individuals accused of crimes to another jurisdiction, has undergone significant changes in Africa, influenced by regional cooperation efforts. The study provides an in-depth examination of the significant events in the development of extradition laws across the African continent. The impacts of World War II on extradition is also scrutinized, highlighting how political motivations sometimes influenced extradition decisions, leading to contentious cases and strained international relations. Additionally, the study examines how regional organisations such as the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), the South African Development Commission (SADC), and also how African Union (A.U) in general work to promote integration and cooperation within the region on legal issues, including extradition. The work further analyses recent efforts to modernize extradition laws in some African countries, aligning them with international standards and practices. This has been facilitated by increased cooperation with international organizations, enhancing legal and operational capacities in extradition matters. This research study extensively analyses the historical development of the African response to extradition in Africa. It sheds light on the evolving approaches, challenges, and regional cooperation efforts concerning extradition practices on the continent. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of how extradition has shaped and been shaped by Africa's legal, political, and social landscape throughout history.

Abstract:
Thesis (LLM)--University of Stellenbosch, 2003.
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The object of the thesis is to examine the content and status of the double criminality principle in international extradition law. The double criminality principle says a fugitive c annat be extradited unless the conduct for which his extradition is sought is criminal in both the requesting state and the requested state. This thesis is based on a study of sources of international law and domestic law and ideas presented in legal literature. The double criminality principle has developed over several centuries and it has been embraced by most states in one form or the other. The principle serves several purposes, of which the most dominant is the notion of state sovereignty. States apply the double criminality principle differently due to its multiple rationale. Legal literature has distinguished two main methods of interpretation, called interpretation in abstracto and in concreto. Whereas the in abstracto method focuses on the theoretical punishability of the conduct, the in concreto method attaches importance to all factual, personal and legal aspects. There are also ways of interpretation that are a combination of these two methods. Most states can be classified into one of the two main groups of interpretation, but in general most states have adopted a specific method of interpretation that is unique to each particular state. There is thus no uniform method of interpretation in international extradition law. This thesis attempts to determine whether the double criminality principle has become a rule of customary international law. Though most instruments on international or domestic extradition law include the double criminality principle, the strong disagreement among legal scholars as to the legal status of the principle leads to the conclusion that the double criminality principle is not a rule of international law today. This thesis contains an examination of whether the principle of double criminality can be classified as an international human rights norm. Though the principle of double criminality has striking similarities with human rights as it partly aims at protecting individuals facing extradition, there are also a number of aspects that distinguish the principle from traditional human rights. This is partly attributable to the fact that international extradition law is not the arena where general international human rights have developed. It is therefore concluded that the double criminality principle does not form part of international human rights law.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die oogmerk van hierdie tesis is om die inhoud en status van die beginsel van dubbelkriminaliteit in internasionale uitleweringsreg te ondersoek. Hierdie beginsel behels dat die handeling ten opsigte waarvan die uitlewering versoek is, misdade in beide die staat wat uitlewering versoek as die staat waarvan uitlewering versoek word, is. Die metode wat hierdie tesis onderlê is 'n literatuurstudie van bronne in die internasionale en nasionale reg. Die dubbelkriminaliteitsbeginsel het oor etlike eeue ontwikkel. Dit word gevind in die meeste regstelsels. Die beginsel dien verskeie oogmerke, waarvan staatsoewereiniteit sekerlik die belangrikste is. State pas die beginselop verskillende maniere toe weens die verskeie bestaansredes vir die beginsel. Regsliteratuur tref 'n onderskeid tussen twee belangrike metodes van interpretasie, naamlik die in abstracto en in concreto benaderings. Terwyl die in abstracto metode op die teoretiese strafbaarheid van die handeling fokus, plaas die in concreto benadering klem op die feitelike, persoonlike en konkrete regsaspekte. Daar is kombinasies van hierdie metodes. Meeste state kan geklassifiseer word volgens die twee benaderings, maar tog pas state hierdie benaderings by hul besondere behoeftes aan. Daar is dus geen uniforme metode van interpretasie in internasionale uitleweringsreg nie. Hierdie tesis poog om te bepaal of die dubbelkriminaliteitsbeginsel 'n reël van gemeenregtelike internasionale reg geword het. Alhoewel meeste wetgewing op die terrein van internasionale en nasionale uitleweringsreg die beginsel van dubbelkriminalitiet insluit, is daar sterk meningsverskilonder regsgeleerdes tov die status van die beinsel. Die gevolgtrekking is dat die beginsel nie 'n algemene reël van die internasionale reg is nie. Ten slotte word daar gekyk of die dubbelkriminaliteitsbeginsel as 'n beginsel van internasionale menseregte geklassifiseer kan word. Alhoewel die beginsel ooreemste met menseregtenorme toon - veral die beskerming van die individu in uitleweringsaangeleenthede - is daar 'n aantal aspekte wat d it van menseregte 0 nderskei. I nternasionale uitleweringsreg en internasionale menseregte deel nie dieselfde ontwikkelingsgeskiedenis nie. Die gevolgtrekking is dus dat die dubbelkriminaliteitsbeginsel nie deel vorm van internasionale menseregte nie.

Abstract:
L'extradition n'est consentie que sous certaines conditions et selon une procédure établie par les lois et les traités. Diverses conventions concernent la situation de la personne requise : ainsi, la France ne livre pas ses nationaux, à la différence des Etats-unis et de la Grande-Bretagne. D'autres conditions se rapportent à l'infraction imputée, à la poursuite ou à la peine encourues. Sont exclues de l'extradition les infractions politiques, mais le critère de l'infraction politique diffère en France et dans les pays anglo-saxons. Dans les trois états, la poursuite et la peine doivent respecter l'ordre public du pays requis. Plusieurs étapes se succèdent durant la procédure de l'extradition passive : l'arrestation de la personne réclamée, sa comparution devant les magistrats compétents pour déclarer recevable la demande d'extradition, la décision finale du pouvoir exécutif en cas d'avis favorable des juges. La personne requise dispose de voies de recours susceptibles de faire obstacle à l'extradition. La France et les Etats-unis, au contraire de la Grande-Bretagne, admettent l'extradition volontaire. Apres le retour de l'extradé sur le territoire de l'état demandeur, le pays requis et la personne transférée peuvent invoquer la nullité ou la spécialité de l'extradition, pour en supprimer ou tout au moins en limiter les effets. En France et au Royaume-Uni, l'individu qui invoque la nullité de son extradition a des chances réduites de gagner sa cause. Ses chances sont encore plus minces aux Etats-unis. Le principe de spécialité relève, pensons-nous, du droit international coutumier.

Abstract:
Le rapport traite-loi en matiere d'extradition passive nous met en presence du probleme central du conflit entre ces deux normes dont la solution indique laquelle des deux est susceptible de recevoir application. Mais la mise en oeuvre du traite ne peut se concevoir que si sa validite, sur le plan de son elaboration, repond a certaines conditions imposees par les dispositions constitutionnelles, parmi lesquelles l'autorisation legislative mal percue dans ses consequences juridiques et dont l'exigence controversee par l'apport des differentes etapes traversees par l'histoire constitutionnelle francaise, demeure l'un des aspects importants. Si une certaine doctrine avait deja manifeste sa predilection pour une solution en faveur de l'autorite des traites internationaux sur la loi interne, cette position va se renforcer par les dispositions constitutionnelles de la quatrieme et de la cinquieme republique. Mais la superiorite des traites doit faire face a certaines limites edictees, soit par les dispositions des constitutions de 1946 et de 1958 qui ont trait a la reserve de reciprocite et au defaut de publication des conventions, soit par les principes generaux du droit dont le non respect de l'ordre public international de l'etat requis constitue l'element majeur, et sans lesquels l'autorite des traites se trouvera infirmee. La divergence entre ces deux normes se manifestera en ce qui concerne le fait incrimine et la personne reclamee. Le present travail fera ressortir des ambiguites afin de souligner les solutions retenues qui selon les cas infirment ou confirment l'autorite du traite sur la loi. Meme si l'article 1er de la loi du 10 mars 1927 prevoit une possibilite de l'application de celle-ci, dans des conditions precises, il n'est pas certain que la jurisprudence les ait largement pratiques. Le traite revendiquera son autorite conformement aux dispositions constitutionnelles dont la jurisprudence du conseil d'etat confirme la tendance.

Abstract:
Extradition is one legal procedure which can and has been utilized to combat terrorism. The political offence exception (p.o.e.) is an accepted legal doctrine which is a part of extradition law. This thesis examines the trend toward the limiting of the p.o.e. doctrine in the context of efforts to combat international terrorism. In other words, this thesis examines the trend to view acts of terrorism as strictly common crime and no longer regard them as legitimated political crime. The trend to limit the p.o.e. is illustrated through an analysis of international conventions, treaties and related documents. This thesis also reviews British, American and Canadian statutory case law in which the p.o.e. is raised. This analysis illustrates the practical application of the trend to limit the p.o.e. Finally, the 1987 Extradition Treaty between Canada and India is used as a case study example. This thesis includes an examination of the social and political process which led to the eventual negotiation of this treaty. Interviews with some members of the Canadian negotiating team and a search of Canadian parliamentary debate on the subject were conducted. The Canada-India case study acts as a case in point toward the limiting of the p.o.e. The analysis of international agreements and statutory case law illustrate that the p.o.e. is being limited, but ambiguity still exists in both definition and interpretation of terrorism and the p.o.e. doctrine. The examination of the social and political context within which the Canada-India Extradition Treaty was created demonstrates that changes to the law and its interpretation are not apolitical, but they are affected by social and political climate.

Abstract:
The process of extradition is a vital component of International Criminal Law as a means of ensuring the suppression and prevention of international crimes. It is the internationally accepted method used by states to surrender an offender back to the state where the alleged offence was committed so that such offender can be tried and punished. Without such process, and with the ease of modern global travel, offenders would, in all likelihood be able to escape prosecution and punishment. Most organized democratic societies recognize that the suppression of crime is necessary for peace and order in society and that extradition is an effective tool to be used to bring to justice a fugitive attempting to evade the law by fleeing to another country. What follows is a discussion, firstly on the theory of extradition and secondly on the effect that human rights has had on the law of extradition. The theory of extradition involves an analysis of extradition from its ancient roots to its position in society today. With regard to extradition in South Africa, reference is made to the various periods of the country’s history. The colonial era before South Africa acquired Republican status in 1961 is referred to in order to establish a basis for the present law of extradition in South Africa. The period during the apartheid era after achieving Republican status in 1961 is discussed in order to show how and why South Africa moved away from its common law roots based on English Law. This era is also of importance as it led to the introduction of the present Extradition Act 67 of 1962. Finally the current position spanning from 1994 to the law as it stands in South Africa today, as influenced by the introduction of Constitutional law, is examined. The rule on non-inquiry is also examined in order to compare the traditional approach by states, where state sovereignty was of paramount importance, with the modern trend of emphasis being placed on fundamental human rights. The methods in terms of which extradition is accomplished, both in South Africa and internationally is also discussed. Such reference to the theory and nature of extradition is done to provide general background on the complex issue to be discussed. The crux of the treatise relates to the impact that the rise in status of fundamental human rights has had on the extradition process. Reference will be made to aspects relating to the protection of the offender’s procedural rights as well as to the protection of the individuals right to life, dignity and bodily integrity. Such examination will refer to the position in South African law as well as the position on the international front. Attention is given to developments in case law as well as to how the courts approach the tension between extradition and human rights both locally and internationally. Finally, in conclusion it is submitted that the extradition process is the most effective procedure available to return an offender to the state seeking his prosecution. The process has however, in modern times adapted to uphold the rights of the offender whose return is requested. This can be seen from the provisions included in recent treaties and conventions, most notably the European Convention on Extradition to which South Africa became a party in 2003. Extradition is clearly concerned with the balancing of the offender’s human rights and the need for effective enforcement of criminal law.

Abstract:
Is it possible for the United Kingdom and Saudi Arabia to have an extradition treaty or an arrangement whereby they can mutually secure the return of fugitives? This paper argues that such an agreement between these two strikingly different legal systems is possible. In answering this question, this paper also examines whether they can adjust their extradition systems to accommodate the emerging norms of international law and concerns about human rights. The possibility of a U.K.-Saudi Arabia extradition treaty would signal hope to the international community and could be a giant step toward an international extradition convention. The larger argument in this paper, thus, is that there is a dire need for the international community to forge an international extradition convention.1 By working with and improving the existing United Nations Model Extradition Treaty,2 such an international extradition convention is possible as demonstrated by the very specific case study between the U.K. and Saudi Arabia.

Abstract:
Since the Anti-Extradition Law Social Movement in 2019, Hong Kong has entered an era of socio-political instability. The conflict between student protestants and the government has become increasingly intense, whereas several universities even became the battlefield of the protest and were abruptly shut down in November 2019. To add fuel to the fire, the outbreak of COVID-19 in early 2020 has prompted all universities in the territory to suspend all face-to-face classes and activities for two semesters. All these have impacted university students in Hong Kong socially, academically and psychologically.In light of this, this study aims to explore the ways to which the learning experience of university students in Hong Kong have been impacted by the socio-political challenges. Through conducting a mixed-methods study at a public university in Hong Kong, it was found that university have a high perceived level of stress, high political involvements, unsatisfactory learning experience and poor learning motivation under this socio-political instability. It is hoped that this study can provide informed insights for teachers to understand students’ burdens, stresses, and emotional instability associated with socio-political unrest.
