European arrest warrant as a mechanism of extradition in international criminal justice cooperation

Abstract

The subject of the paper is the European Arrest Warrant as a Model of Extradition of EU Member States, established by the EU Council Framework Decision (2002/584/ PUP) of 13 June 2002 about the surrender procedure between the EU Member States. The introductory part of the paper gave a brief overview of the idea of the unification of Europe after the II World War and in this regard the adoption of the EUW as a substitute for slow and insufficiently effective extradition. The central part of the paper contains an exposition of its concept, legislative framework, substantive and procedural legal conditions for publication and content. The EAW can not be issued for all offenses, but only for the works listed in the Catalog 32. The principle of double punishment has been abolished for some serious crimes, as well as the prohibition of the extradition of its own citizens for some financial crimes. In the concluding part pointed to the role of EAW in the construction and functioning of the EU's single judicial area.

Predmet rada je Evropski nalog za hapšenje (u daljem tekstu: EUN) kao model ekstradicije država članica Evropske unije, uspostavljen Okvirnom odlukom Veća EU (2002/584/PUP) od 13. 6. 2002. o postupku predaje između država članica EU. U uvodnom delu rada je dat kratak osvrt na ideju ujedinjenja Evrope posle II svetskog rata i s tim u vezi usvajanje EUN kao supstituta spore i nedovoljno efikasne ekstradicije. Centralni deo rada sadrži izlaganje o njegovom pojmu, legislativnom okviru, materijalnim i procesnim pravnim uslovima za izdavanje i sadržini. Evropski nalog za hapšenje ne može se izdati za sva krivična dela, već samo za dela navedena u Katalogu 32. Načelo dvostruke kažnjivosti je ukinuto za pojedina teška krivična dela, kao i zabrana izručenja vlastitih državljana za neka finansijska krivična dela. U zaključnom delu je ukazano na ulogu EUN u izgradnji i funkcionisanju jedinstvenog pravosudnog prostora EU.
