The European human rights influence upon UK extradition: myth debunked.

Arnell, Paul

Abstract

There exists a perception within the UK that human rights law emanating from Europe acts to the detriment of extradition. This is not the case. This article describes the effect of the ECHR and Fundamental Charter of Human Rights upon UK extradition and concludes that in fact human rights play a relatively limited role.
