"The Competition of Values in the European Arrest Warrant Tracing the Conflict and Prioritization Between Collective Security and Individual Justice Within Case Law of the CJEU"

Sammanfattning: The European Arrest Warrant system is built on balancing between individual justice, which safeguards the right to a fair trial of subjects to extradition, and collective security, which seeks to ensure public safety and effective law enforcement. This thesis provides for an analysis of this balance and its evolution, exploring how the prioritization of individual justice and collective security, as manifested in the EAW, have shifted through the evolutive interpretation of the Court of Justice of the European Union. Looking into the implications of this balance, this thesis addresses its impact on the protection of human rights and the trust among Member States.
