The extradition system as a mechanism to combat transnational organized crime : a descriptive analytical study

Abstract EN

The extradition system is one of the mechanisms for international judicial cooperation in the fight against transnational organized crime, through a State extraditing a person to another State, based on an official request, to be tried or to execute a judgment that has been lifted for committing a crime that falls within the scope of transnational crimes.

The extradition system draws its strength from the original and complementary sources which help the judge not to fall into the crime of denial of justice.

This system requires a set of conditions, including those relating to the person subject to extradition, and those relating to the reason for the extradition.

This study relied on the descriptive analytical approach to try to understand this mechanism of international judicial cooperation, which can only succeed with a set of measures, including activating the role of international courts, the strengthening of cooperation between the parties of the international community in the field of information exchange and the use of modern technologies for extradition purposes, and adopting flexible means and systems which reconcile new developments in the world of organized crime, and protection of human rights, on the other.

In the following sections, we will try to approach the concept of extradition system by examining the definition of this system, its legal basis its conditions through this research paper.
