The International Bar Association published a significant contribution by lawyer Andrea Puccio titled ‘Extradition within international judicial cooperation: new challenges and future perspectives’ on the first 2025 Newsletter of the Criminal Law Committee.
The article explores extradition as an essential foundation of transnational judicial cooperation, delving into its legal foundations (including double jeopardy, speciality and ne bis in idem) and the complex interplay between national and supranational laws, with particular reference to the European Arrest Warrant and the specificities of the bilateral agreement between Italy and the United States.
The analysis also highlights the delicate balance between the need for effective judicial action across national borders and the protection of fundamental rights, especially in relations to legal systems with major conceptual and procedural differences.
Finally, the article explores the impact of digitization and AI on extradition procedures, highlighting the need to develop a legal framework balancing procedural efficiency and strict standards of legal protection.
