The Suspect and Mutual Legal Assistance : A legal analysis of the rights of the individual in the suppression of transnational organised crime

Halvarsson, Daniel January 2015 (has links)
The suppression of transnational organised crime has continued to rise on the agenda of the international community and is today an affirmed goal of most states. To increase the effectiveness of suppression, it is necessary for states to cooperate across borders in criminal investigations. The legal regime by which this is done is called mutual legal assistance, MLA, and is one of the most practically important developments in public international law over recent decades. The development however has led to several unanswered questions regarding the position of the individual in the procedure. Those are manifested in three main areas, namely; the requirements for employment of MLA; the application of exceptions and; human rights protection.   This thesis elaborates on and analyses the balance between effectiveness in formal international law enforcement and the protection of fundamental rights in such procedures in the three main ambiguous areas.   The analysis points to the importance of the principle of reciprocity for effective cooperation and argues that the conditions for MLA should not be altered. It argues that the number of exceptions shall be kept at a minimum. However, the efforts to abolish the exception for offences of a political nature should be halted or at least approached with more caution. This is true also of when concerning terrorism offences.   The analysis shows that the protection available to the person whom the MLA request concerns is inadequate. There is an urgent need to reform the system in that respect, in particular by opening channels of complaint.   The final conclusion is that, in light of the unquestionable importance of MLA in the suppression of transnational organised crime, it is possible to make limited reform in the areas of human rights and the guarantee of a right to a fair trial without jeopardising the necessary effectiveness of the system.

A obrigação de extraditar para a repressão do terrorismo: a prática brasileira à luz do direito penal transnacional / The obligation to extradite to the repression of terrorism: the Brazilian practice in light of the transnational criminal law

Leandro de Oliveira Moll 17 March 2010 (has links)
O combate efetivo ao flagelo secular do terrorismo, ainda que possa se revestir de muitas formas, não prescinde da repressão penal de seus autores. Em vista da maciça internacionalização do terrorismo, a partir do Século XX, a cooperação jurídica internacional em matéria penal (aí incluída a extradição) consolida-se como instrumento de essencial importância para a repressão do terrorismo pela comunidade internacional, com a vantagem de resguardar o domínio do direito e, por conseguinte, de assegurar a paz e a segurança internacionais. A evolução do tratamento do crime de terrorismo pelo direito penal transnacional influenciada pelo direito da segurança coletiva, especialmente a partir dos atentados de 11 de setembro de 2001 exerceu expressivo impacto no direito extradicional. O entendimento desse efeito é fundamental para extrair-se do instituto da extradição todo o seu potencial para a repressão penal do terrorismo. Desde que presentes determinados requisitos, uma conduta de caráter terrorista à luz de parâmetros internacionais gera a obrigação estatal de extraditar ou processar seu autor, mesmo na ausência de tratado. Além disso, a extradição exercida ou não em decorrência de obrigação convencional tem seus princípios afetados pela obrigação internacional de repressão do terrorismo, particularmente no que se refere a questões como extraditabilidade, extradição por crimes políticos e extradição de refugiados. O direito brasileiro apresenta algumas vulnerabilidades para o cumprimento da obrigação aut dedere aut iudicare e a prática judicial brasileira relativa à extradição de acusados de atos de terrorismo poderia reportar-se mais ao direito internacional, com vistas a evitar o risco de violação de obrigações internacionais pelo Brasil. / Even though the effective struggle against the secular plague of terrorism can assume many forms, it cannot leave out the aspect of the criminal repression of its perpetrators. In view of the intense internationalisation of terrorism since the 20th Century, international legal co-operation in criminal matters (extradition included) consolidates itself as an instrument of crucial importance to the repression of terrorism by the international community, with the advantage of safeguarding the rule of law and, therefore, guaranteeing international peace and security. The evolution of the approach of the crime of terrorism by transnational criminal law influenced by the law of collective security, especially since the September 11th 2001 attacks exerted an expressive impact on extradition law. The understanding of this effect is essential to extract from the institute of extradition all its potential regarding the criminal repression of terrorism. Once certain requisites are present, a conduct of terrorist character according to international parameters creates the State obligation to extradite or prosecute its perpetrator, even in the absence of a treaty. Moreover, the extradition carried out or not as a consequence of a treaty obligation has its principles affected by the international obligation of repression of terrorism when it concerns particularly to matters such as extraditability, extradition for political offences and extradition of refugees. Brazilian law has vulnerabilities concerning the compliance of the aut dedere aut iudicare obligation and the Brazilian judicial practice regarding the extradition of accused of acts of terrorism could refer more to international law, in order to avoid the risk of violation of international obligations by Brazil.
