Description
Extradition legislation and cases can be very difficult to locate - particularly when you require quick and easy access to authorities. As the only dedicated sourcebook available, this new Handbook brings together for the first time legislation and relevant case law covering the European Convention on Extradition, Commonwealth, and treaty countries and UN Conventions. Sections on Human Rights implications and war crimes tribunals are also included, as well as useful appendix materials. Based on their experience and insight into the needs of the practitioner, the authors have created a valuable reference tool, which offers the key source materials, and a reliable and rigorous selection of relevant cases required for extradition practice. The Handbook is also perfectly suited to non-specialists with an interest in this field, as well as practitioners in Commonwealth & overseas dependent territories seeking a clear understanding of how extradition proceedings are conducted in the UK.
