Nechceme bojovať vo vojne! Ukrajinskí volejbalisti sa nevrátili domov z Belgicka
General Framework of Belgian Extradition:
Extradition Process:
1. Request Review: The request is initially reviewed for its adherence to treaty obligations and Belgian law.
2. Judicial Phase: A court examines whether the conditions for extradition are met, including the dual criminality principle (the act must be a crime in both countries).
3. Ministerial Decision: Following a court’s decision that extradition is permissible, the final decision to extradite is made at the ministerial level, typically by the Minister of Justice.
Protection Against Extradition:
Extradition will not be granted for political crimes, or if there is a risk of persecution based on race, religion, nationality, political opinions, or if the person faces the death penalty, unless assurances against such outcomes are provided.
The executive authority of the Requested State may refuse extradition for offenses under military law which are not offenses under ordinary criminal law.
