It applies to decisions such as arrests for the purpose of criminal prosecutions or the execution of custodial sentences. After being in force for over 20 years, FRA’s findings provide evidence for an assessment of the legislation in practice. This report looks at the fundamental rights challenges that people face who are requested through an EAW. It provides a unique insight into their experiences and those of the professionals involved. FRA’s findings indicate that shared challenges exist across EU Member States. They must increase efforts to ensure that people are able to take part in criminal proceedings and receive a fair trial.<br /> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field

It applies to decisions such as arrests for the purpose of criminal prosecutions or the execution of custodial sentences. After being in force for over 20 years, FRA’s findings provide evidence for an assessment of the legislation in practice. This report looks at the fundamental rights challenges that people face who are requested through an EAW. It provides a unique insight into their experiences and those of the professionals involved. FRA’s findings indicate that shared challenges exist across EU Member States. They must increase efforts to ensure that people are able to take part in criminal proceedings and receive a fair trial.<br /> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-node--field-fra-action-buttons field-name-field-fra-action-buttons field-type-entity-reference-revisions field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item"><div class="paragraph paragraph--type-fra-action-buttons paragraph--view-mode-default ds-1col clearfix"> <div class="gen-action-buttons"> <div class="fas fa-scroll field-icon"></div> <div class="field-link"><a href="https://fra.europa.eu/en/news/2024/european-arrest-warrant-respecting-rights-across-borders">Read press release</a></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="views-row"><div data-history-node-id="39942" class="node node--type-fra-video node--view-mode-teaser theme-item theme-item-Systems ds-2col clearfix"> <div class="group-left"><div class="field field-node--field-fra-image field-name-field-fra-image field-type-entity-reference field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item"> <a href="/en/video/2020/video-blog-michael-oflaherty-july-bulletin-covid-19" hreflang="en"><img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/styles/fra_teaser_style/public/fra_images/vlog29_covid19-bulletin_july_fra_website_still_image.jpg?itok=cQYLQuhM" width="640" height="420" /> </a> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="group-right"> <div class="PubThemes"> <div class="field field-node--bundle-fieldnode field-name-bundle-fieldnode field-type-ds field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item">Video</div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-node--field-fra-taxonomy-sec-theme field-name-field-fra-taxonomy-sec-theme field-type-entity-reference field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item"><a href="/en/themes/judicial-cooperation-and-rule-law" hreflang="en">Judicial cooperation and rule of law</a></div> <div class="field-item"><a href="/en/themes/national-human-rights-systems-and-bodies" hreflang="en">National human rights systems and bodies</a></div> <div class="field-item"><a href="/en/themes/civil-society" hreflang="en">Civil society</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-node--field-fra-taxonomy-pri-theme field-name-field-fra-taxonomy-pri-theme field-type-entity-reference field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item"><a href="/en/themes/support-human-rights-systems-and-defenders" hreflang="en">Support for human rights systems and defenders</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-node--field-fra-published-at field-name-field-fra-published-at field-type-datetime field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item"><time datetime="2020-07-15T13:24:49Z">15 July 2020</time> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-node--node-title field-name-node-title field-type-ds field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item"><h2> <a href="/en/video/2020/video-blog-michael-oflaherty-july-bulletin-covid-19" hreflang="en">Video blog Michael O'Flaherty: July bulletin on COVID-19</a> </h2> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-node--field-fra-summary field-name-field-fra-summary field-type-string-long field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item">Michael O'Flaherty introduces the July edition of FRA's bulletin on the impact for fundamental rights of Covid-19.
