Extradition between friends.

Arnell, Paul

Authors



Abstract

With friends like these, who needs enemies is an epithet that appears to apply to the United Kingdom's extradition partners. Draconian sentencing policies, unjust plea bargaining, unlawful rendition, systemic judicial corruption, deficient medical treatment and inhumane prisons - all circumstances that have been argued in recent UK extradition cases. Political and media comment, referring to these arguments, has suggested the time is nigh to re-think the UK's extradition arrangements. This is simply wrong. The Extradition Act 2003 and the European Arrest Warrant address transnational criminality effectively and fairly in the vast majority of instances.
