  • Extradition from a to Z: Assange, Zentai and the Challenge of Interpreting International Obligations
    EXTRADITION FROM A TO Z: ASSANGE, ZENTAI AND THE CHALLENGE OF INTERPRETING INTERNATIONAL OBLIGATIONS * HOLLY CULLEN AND BETHIA BURGESS AUTHORS’ NOTE: One of Professor Peter Johnston’s main areas of expertise was the law of extradition. Notably, he appeared before the High Court of Australia in the Zentai case, concerning the request for extradition of an alleged war criminal. His interest in the law of extradition was, furthermore, wide- ranging and scholarly. In 2013, he taught seminars on extradition in the UWA law unit Selected Topics of Public International Law. In correspondence with the first author of this article, he proposed co- writing an article comparing the approach of the Australian and United Kingdom courts to extradition through the lens of the Zentai case and that of Julian Assange. He wrote, ‘There are some fascinating similarities and differences, including the different ways in which the UK Supreme Court approaches interpretation of international instruments compared to that of the High Court.’ Unfortunately, other commitments intervened and the article was never written. The second author of this article was a student in the 2013 cohort for Selected Topics of Public International Law and wrote an essay on issues in the Zentai case under Professor Johnston’s guidance. We present this article as a realisation of Professor Johnston’s idea and a tribute to him. I INTRODUCTION Extradition of persons accused of a crime to face trial in another country is considered an essential element of transnational criminal law.1 Developments such as the European Arrest Warrant,2 adopted by the European Union, are * Holly Cullen is a Professor of Law at the University of Western Australia.
