The EU reached a political agreement on the European Arrest warrant. Its purpose is to facilitate law enforcement right across the EU. The European arrest warrant came into force in 2004. The agreement carries through the European Council conclusions which state that “the formal extradition procedure should be abolished among the Member States as far as persons are concerned who are fleeing from justice after having been finally sentenced”. 10 27 International Police Cooperation Review of the lesson plan - Exercise 11 27 International Police Cooperation SUMMARY Interpol notices Schengen Information System SIRENE European Arrest Warrant 12 27 International Police Cooperation Questions? 13 27 .

  • Written Evidence Submitted by Dr Helena Farrand Carrapico Associate Professor in Criminology and International Relations at Nort
    Written evidence submitted by Dr Helena Farrand Carrapico Associate Professor in Criminology and International Relations at Northumbria University (FRE0040) Thank you for your letter of the 5th of June and for the opportunity to respond to the Call for Evidence on the Progress of the Negotiations on the UK’s Future Relationship with the EU. Given that my area of expertise focuses on the governance of the European Union’s Area of Freedom, Security and Justice, I would like to focus my contribution on the UK-EU future relationship in the field of internal security. The United Kingdom currently takes part in the European Union (EU)’s Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (AFSJ), the world’s most integrated internal security cooperation area. This policy area was created with the aim of ensuring EU citizens and residents’ access to effective justice and fundamental rights, as well as providing protection against crime and terrorism. In order to fulfil this aim, the AFSJ is focused on improving all forms of cooperation between law enforcement and judicial authorities, including the exchange of information, the creation of centralised databases and the promotion of joint operations. Since the early 90s, the UK developed a system of opt-ins and opt-outs (Protocols 19, 21 and 36 of the Treaty of Lisbon) that allowed it, on the basis of selective participation, to substantially benefit from and contribute to the development of the AFSJ, at the same time as it has enabled the country to avoid taking part in measures which are perceived as not being aligned with its national interests.

  • Belgium and the European Arrest Warrant
    Michaël Meysman1 Belgium and the European Arrest Warrant: Is European Criminal Cooperation Under Pressure? Refusal of European Arrest Warrant Surrender in the Case Jauregui Espina as Proof of Failing Mutual Trust Abstract: In its judgment of the 19th of November 2013, Belgium’s highest court, the Court of Cassation, confirmed an earlier judgment of the so-called kamer van inbeschuldiging- stelling (KI) of the Court of Appeal in Ghent in response to a surrender demanded in accordance with a number of European arrest warrants issued by Spain. This surrender was brushed off the table by the KI on the basis of a motivation basedon themutual trust concerning thecompliance with fundamental rights within the context of European cooperation in criminal matters.2This motivation seems bound to raise eyebrows amongst those who advocate this classic tenet of cross-border cooperation.This article frames this recent judgement within a European context, and investigates whether there is indeeda European tendency to step away from blind trust in lieu of (successfully) in- voking fundamental rights to refuse cooperation. The case under scrutiny already seems to be pointing in that direction as far as the member states are concerned. Moreover, it seems to be confirmed by recent statements within the European Court of Justice (ECJ) by the Advocates General, as well as through the new procedural wind blowing through the Union with the Procedural Roadmap. On the other hand, the ECJ shows itself more reluctant than expected, giving rise to a situation in which member states 1 The author is a Researcher at the Institute for International Research on Criminal Policy (IRCP) at the Department of Criminology, Criminal Law and Social Law of the Ghent University.

  • EXTRADITION EUROPEAN ARREST WARRANT This Leaflet Covers: • Information About Fair Trials International • Frequently Asked
    EXTRADITION EUROPEAN ARREST WARRANT This leaflet covers: Information about Fair Trials International Frequently Asked Questions The extradition process General advice on extradition It was last updated in February 2013 About Fair Trials International Since 1992 Fair Trial International has worked for the better protection of fair trial rights and defended the rights of people facing criminal charges in a country other than their own. Our vision is a world where every person’s right to a fair trial is respected, whatever their nationality, wherever they are accused. Fair Trials International was established to help people arrested outside their own country to defend their right to a fair trial. Every year we help hundreds of people and their families to navigate a foreign legal system by offering practical advice, including contacts of local lawyers; guidance on key issues encountered by people arrested abroad; and basic information on different legal systems and local sources of support. As a charity, we do not charge for any of the assistance that we provide. We believe that respect for fundamental rights and the rule of law are the hallmarks of a just society and that the right to a fair trial is at the heart of this. Sadly too many shocking cases of injustice demonstrate how, time and again, this most basic human right is being abused. We fight against injustice by lobbying for the legal reforms needed to ensure that the right to a fair trial is respected in practice. Working with our clients and international networks, we also campaign for changes to criminal justice laws which are being abused and overused.

  • Protecting Fundamental Rights in Cross-Border Proceedings: Are Alternatives to the European Arrest Warrant a Solution?
    Protecting fundamental rights in cross-border proceedings: Are alternatives to the European Arrest Warrant a solution? About Fair Trials 0 Fair Trials is a global criminal justice watchdog with offices in London, Brussels and Washington, D.C., focused on improving the right to a fair trial in accordance with international standards. Fair Trials’ work is premised on the belief that fair trials are one of the cornerstones of a just society: they prevent lives from being ruined by miscarriages of justice and make societies safer by contributing to fair and effective justice systems that maintain public trust. Although universally recognised in principle, in practice the basic human right to a fair trial is being routinely abused. Its work combines: (a) helping suspects to understand and exercise their rights; (b) building an engaged and informed network of fair trial defenders (including NGOs, lawyers and academics); and (c) fighting the underlying causes of unfair trials through research, litigation, political advocacy and campaigns. In Europe, we coordinate the Legal Experts Advisory Panel (LEAP) – the leading criminal justice network in Europe consisting of over 180 criminal defence law firms, academic institutions and civil society organisations. More information about this network and its work on the right to a fair trial in Europe can be found here.

  • European Arrest Warrant
    European Arrest Warrant European Implementation Assessment STUDY EPRS | European Parliamentary Research Service Author: Wouter van Ballegooij Ex-Post Evaluation Unit PE 642.839 – June 2020 EN European Arrest Warrant European Implementation Assessment On 6 November 2019, the European Parliament's Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE) requested authorisation to draw up an own-initiative implementation report on the Council Framework Decision on the European Arrest Warrant and the surrender procedures between Member States (FD EAW, 2002/584/JHA) (rapporteur: Javier Zarzalejos, EPP, Spain). The Conference of Committee Chairs gave its authorisation on 26 November. This triggered the automatic production of a European implementation assessment by the Ex-Post Evaluation Unit of the Directorate for Impact Assessment and European Added Value, Directorate-General for Parliamentary Research Services (EPRS). This study provides an assessment and conclusions on the implementation of the FD EAW. It also contains recommendations on how to address the shortcomings identified, as per the request of the rapporteur. It is intended to contribute to the Parliament's discussions on this topic, improving understanding of the subject, and ultimately feeding into the implementation report. The study concludes that the FD EAW has simplified and sped up handover procedures, including for some high- profile cases of serious crime and terrorism. A number of outstanding challenges relate back to core debates concerning judicial independence, the nature of mutual recognition and its relationship with international and EU law and values, constitutional principles and additional harmonisation measures. Furthermore, there are gaps in effectiveness, efficiency and coherence with other measures and the application of digital tools.
