The second issue of the International Review of Extradition Law consolidates the international, bilingual, and academic vision established in its inaugural edition. Through five scholarly contributions by experts from diverse jurisdictions, this issue examines some of the most pressing contemporary challenges in extradition and international judicial cooperation in criminal matters, including mutual trust in light of detention conditions in Belgian prisons, the cross-border collection of evidence in the EncroChat case, the application of the ne bis in idem principle, the use of ordinary criminal charges to conceal political persecution through lawfare, and the right to liberty and security under Article 5 of the European Convention on Human Rights as a limit to extradition. Combining practical relevance with solid theoretical foundations, this second issue reaffirms the journal’s commitment to becoming a leading international forum for the critical study of extradition law and the protection of fundamental rights.
