Conference in Madrid at the Madrid Bar Association to mark the launch of the IELEA (International Extraditions Association) / presentation by Mr Thuan Dit Dieudonné on the case law of the European Court of Human Rights in this area

Extradition is no longer merely a matter of cooperation between states. It has become a matter of protecting fundamental rights.

In Madrid, Mr Grégory Thuan Dit Dieudonné spoke at the launch of the International Extraditions Lawyers and Experts Association (IELEA), an international network of legal professionals dedicated to excellence in the field of extradition and international judicial cooperation.

His presentation focused on strategic remedies to prevent extraditions that could expose a person to serious human rights violations, whether through UN mechanisms, proceedings before Interpol or the case law developed by the European Court of Human Rights.

Against a backdrop characterised by the internationalisation of prosecutions, the rise in extradition requests and the increasing use of transnational tools, the sharing of expertise amongst experienced practitioners is a key priority.

The firm is proud to contribute to this international drive to promote effective judicial cooperation, whilst never compromising on the fundamental safeguards underpinning the rule of law.
