Aleksandra Kowalik analyzes the classic extradition procedure in Europe and its disadvantages. She focuses on the relationship between extradition procedures in the UK and Poland. Under the European Extradition Convention of 1957, states had broad discretion on whether to extradite and could refuse based on citizenship or political offenses. The European Arrest Warrant of 2002 streamlined extradition between EU states by removing these exemptions. However, Kowalik notes ongoing issues like lack of detailed information provided by Poland to UK authorities and differences in criminal procedures that can delay cases. She argues increased cooperation between legal professionals in both countries, like joint training, is still needed to address these challenges.

The Council of Bars and Law Societies of Europe (CCBE) wrote to the Premier of China to express concerns over the conviction of lawyer Xu Zhyong. The CCBE had previously expressed concern over Xu's arrest in July 2013. Xu was convicted in January 2014 of "gathering crowds to disrupt public order" and sentenced to 4 years in prison. The CCBE is alarmed by the crackdown on those fighting for transparency in China's political system and believes Xu's conviction was intended to intimidate other human rights defenders. The CCBE urges the Premier to overturn Xu's conviction and release him unconditionally, and to ensure lawyers in China can practice without fear of reprisal.

Yukos affair timeline final (08.10.09) links workJoerg Hesse
This document provides a timeline of key events relating to Mikhail Khodorkovsky and Yukos Oil company from 1989-2005. It outlines how Khodorkovsky acquired Yukos in the 1990s and transformed it into a successful company adhering to international standards. However, starting in 2003 the Russian government began arresting Khodorkovsky and other Yukos executives on criminal charges, conducting controversial tax reassessments against Yukos, and facilitating the transfer of Yukos's main assets to state-owned companies. This timeline suggests the actions against Yukos and Khodorkovsky were politically motivated attempts to weaken a prominent opponent of the Kremlin and regain control of strategic oil assets.

Has the Human Rights Act (1998) led to a more pronounced judicial interventio...Sabita Amin
The document discusses whether the Human Rights Act of 1998 has led to increased judicial intervention in politics in the UK. It outlines key aspects of the Act, including that it incorporates the European Convention on Human Rights into domestic law but does not allow courts to override legislation. The Act requires legislation be interpreted compatibly with human rights, and if not possible, courts can issue a declaration of incompatibility. Judges now more actively consider human rights issues, but the Act was carefully drafted to maintain parliamentary sovereignty. There is debate around where to draw the line between interpretation and a declaration of incompatibility.

It concludes that most of the legislation enables unwarranted executive overreach and encroachment on independent institutions.

It analyzes potential cases before (1) the International Court of Justice to establish state responsibility, (2) the European Court of Human Rights to address human rights violations, and (3) the International Criminal Court or domestic courts to criminally prosecute individuals. Civil litigation options are also examined seeking compensation from Ukraine, the airlines, or Malaysia. The paper aims to help victims' families and governments pursue legal accountability and justice, though it will be a challenging and lengthy process.

The document provides a summary report of a conference held by the Global Competition Law Centre on new tendencies, tools, and enforcement methods in competition law from an EC and Polish perspective. The conference included presentations from officials in the Polish competition authority and European Commission on topics such as private enforcement of antitrust rules, leniency programs, economic approaches to assessing vertical restraints, and abuse of dominant market positions. It also discussed proposals for reforming EU competition law regulations and procedures for coordinating multi-jurisdictional merger reviews between national and European authorities. A variety of legal and economic issues in competition law were covered from both practical enforcement and academic analytical perspectives.
The document discusses how Brexit may impact criminal law and cooperation in the EU. It describes several EU criminal law frameworks and agencies that the UK currently participates in, such as the European Arrest Warrant, European Judicial Network, Eurojust, and operations they have conducted. Leaving the EU could mean the UK loses access to these systems and procedures, hindering criminal investigations and extraditions between the UK and EU countries.

This document summarizes a research paper that examines the proposed Dutch scheme to use intelligence witnesses in criminal cases. Specifically, it allows intelligence officers to testify anonymously before a judge in pre-trial hearings without the defense present. The intelligence and testimony could then be used as evidence in the trial. The document discusses how this scheme may not be viable in the English criminal justice system given its safeguards against past wrongful convictions. It also analyzes whether this approach complies with the fair trial rights in the European Convention on Human Rights, particularly the right to confrontation.
THE COURT OF JUSTICE OF THE EUROPEAN UNION (CJEU). A FOCUS ON THE CVRIAtelosaes
What is and what it does. The Court of Justice (CJEU) was founded in 1952 and is based in Luxembourg. The CJEU interprets EU law to ensure that it is applied in the same way

This document provides a comparative analysis of the doctrine of stay of proceedings under English traditional rules and the Brussels I Regulation. It begins with an overview of the doctrine of forum non conveniens as the basis for staying proceedings under English law. It then examines the basis and practice of staying proceedings under the Brussels I Regulation. The document critically analyzes the ECJ's decision in Owusu v Jackson, focusing on the implications of the ruling and questions it left unanswered. It argues that a compromise is needed between the two systems to determine when it is appropriate to stay proceedings in cases of jurisdiction conflicts between EU member states and third countries. The objective is to allocate jurisdiction to the court best suited to hear the particular dispute.
The document provides an overview of cross-border succession laws in the European Union. Under EU rules, the law of the deceased's habitual residence typically governs succession. However, the deceased can choose to have the law of their nationality apply instead. Choosing the law of nationality may have tax implications. The document outlines how to formally choose the law of nationality to govern succession according to the EU Succession Regulation, including through a will or declaration made in Portugal before a notary.
- Currently, English law and jurisdiction clauses are commonly used in international contracts due to England's reputation for commercial law and dispute resolution. However, Brexit may impact how disputes are handled.
- Currently, EU rules like Rome I and Rome II govern choice of law, but after Brexit the UK's own conflict of law rules will apply which are similar for contracts but less clear for non-contractual disputes. Courts in the EU may apply their own choice of law rules for UK cases.
- For dispute resolution, the UK could join EFTA and adopt the Lugano Convention to maintain the status quo for jurisdiction and judgments, but this does not cover choice of law. Alternatives like the Hague Convention could also

“The punishment is a sort of medicine” as Aristotle used to say. For a while, the
tough hand of Lady Justice being directed by the will of eliminating a plaque
of crime, which affected and spread among societies, created the legal tools
for bringing the unfaithful to a rule of criminal law, to her.
Based upon the historical sources and the publications of a remarkable
extradition, experts first archived a request (official notification) for a criminal
to be brought to justice; it was a formal letter authorised by Ramses II in 1280
BC to Hittite- Hattusli III. 1
The above-mentioned document has been written using a graphic language
(hieroglyphics) and currently is being kept in the Amon Temple in Karnak. The
request was a part of the peace related treaty issued after the Hittite failure in
invading the invincible Ramses II.
CRIMINAL LAW
Aleksandra Kowalik, Law Firm Kowalik
A Brief View of The Classic
Extradition Procedure in Europe
And Its Strongest Disadvantages.
The fundamental basis of the
international cooperation aimed
on bringing the accused or
convicted person to justice; The
European Extradition Convention
signed in Paris on 13th December
1957 with its two attachments
(the Additional Protocols ruled
in Strasbourg on 15th October
1975 and 17th March 1978) were
considered.
The main establishments and
purposes has been clearly drafted
in the article 1 which states:
The Contracting Parties undertake
to surrender to each other, subject
to the provisions and conditions
laid down in this Convention,
all persons against whom the
Together with the societies’
cultural, economic and general
world view, related evolution,
including mass migration, not only
shows us that the associated crime
was unavoidable, but also the
ways of the fleeting justice system;
there is a notable progression:
crime has become cross border.
From this, it then appeared
obvious that ruling a separate
and specialised law became
essential. This shaped the Classic
Extradition Procedure in Europe
and Aleksandra Kowalik will
reveal and focus on the mutual
relationship between The United
Kingdom and Poland European

the relation today.
intentions were to rule the new
EAW proceedings pursuant to a
principle of mutual respect and
recognition.
I will allow to focus myself on the
mutual relationship between
The United Kingdom and Poland
European Arrest Warrant, as
Poland has been taking the first
place in the first row in requesting
for the justice’s fugitives.
The crucial moment of the
cooperation between those two
countries has taken its place
in 1993 when The European
Extradition Convention and
European Council Order (section
4.1) Extradition Act 1989 Poland
became a signatory of a Treaty
with The United Kingdom.
The current cooperation pursuant
to the Council Framework Decision
13th June 2002, following my
observations as a practitioner
in both jurisdictions, drew my
attention to the necessity for a
mutual cooperation, not only
between the Member States’
authorities, but inter alia, the
lawyers from both countries as the
ways of defending the requested
persons are completely different;
this will see the result meeting at
one point, namely the successful
defence.
In accordance to my experience,
the designated Westminster MC
Judge or the CPS representing
the requesting state often ask for
the further information, especially
a related passage of time, but
without knowing a Polish criminal
procedure and general responses,
it is difficult to find the answers for
the asked matters.
It is not enough for the requesting
state (namely Poland) to
provide the British authorities with
unspecified information instead of
a detailed list of the undertaken
domestic warrant activities.
Unfortunately, regardless of the
fugitive position, the delay itself
has often been caused not by
fleeting or hiding by the RP but
by a simple inactivity of the Polish
Judicial Authorities for many years.
The similar issues refer to “in
absentia” proceedings and
doubts with the summons for the
trial as Polish criminal system allows
for serving the summons (signed
for correspondence) to any adult
person staying at the address
regardless his bonds/ relationship
or other kind of connections with
the summoned person, regardless

ABOUT ALEKSANDRA KOWALIK
of the possibility that the judicial
correspondence will never have
been passed to the addressee.
Cooperation is especially
important in relation to the non-
convicted persons; as a Polish
defence lawyer, there is an open
way for negotiating with the Polish
Judicial Authorities for issuing an
“iron letter” – however the letter
relates only to non-convicted
(can be accused) or not accused
persons, which means one cannot
apply after being sentenced
(even in non-abiding sentences)
because the letter has only been
established for the investigation
stage.
competent authorities of the
requesting Party are proceeding
for an offence or who are wanted
by the said authorities for the
carrying out of a sentence or
detention order.
Ruling the Convention does not
mean there has been a legislative
hole or inactivity. The United
Kingdom is fully entitled to take a
pride in the fugitives’ exchange
based upon and pursuant to the
drafted arrangements (dated
on 1174) between King Henry II
of England and King William of
Scotland. The similar arrangements
have been issued between
Edward I and French King Philip in
1303.
The crown establishment of
a classic extradition was the
citizenship related bar as the
requested stated that it could use
its refusal right to extradite its own
citizen (article six of The European
Extradition Convention).
The further basic assumption of a
classic extradition system drafted
in the Convention (1957) was a
recognition of accusation or a
conviction for a political offence
as a potential bar for extradition.
None of above has been
established by the Council
Framework Decision of 13 June
2002 on the European Arrest
Warrant and the surrender
procedures between Member
Stat- neither in the absolute bars
to extradition (article four) nor in
the compulsory bars mentioned in
article five.
Various range of arbitrary and
underspecified grounds for refusals
requests, including the diplomatic
authorities’ involvement which
the requests and all the relevant
correspondence, have been
passed through and have had
an impact for a pace of requests
consideration, even though the
Convention did not establish
a passage of time as a bar for
extradition.
Nevertheless, the lack of passage
of time does not change the fact
that both extradition and EAW’s
proceedings aim to bring one, as
soon as it is possible, to a specific
justice as one must bear in mind
the expiration time of chased
offences or crimes.
To simplify and speed up
the extradition proceedings
within the Members States, the
European Council in Tampere was
established in 1999. The Council’s
The range of iron letter negotiations
allows for granting bail conditions
similar to those recognised by
the British rule of law, resulting in
EAW’ s withdrawal.
The above-mentioned
cooperation would, in my opinion,
enable savings to costs and
significantly improve, not only the
pace of the proceedings, but
would limit its complexity.
Nevertheless, without arranged
seminars, conferences or other
types of joined trainings, it
seems the mutual cooperation
is impossible without a mutual
awareness of the grounds of the
domestic procedures. LM
