Abstract
The article presents an overview of the European Arrest Warrant (EAW), the Framework Decision of which was adopted by the Council of the European Union on June 13, 2002. The EAW required the direct recognition and execution of requests for arrest and surrender from another Member State's judicial authority, by national judicial authorities of each Member State. It is applicable to offences such as participation in a criminal organization and human trafficking. Traditional grounds for refusing extradition are removed by the EAW. The advantages of the EAW for the prosecution of International Criminal Court (ICC) crimes are discussed. Issues of compatibility with the ICC statute are raised by the EAW. It is suggested that legislation relating to EAW should be implemented by Member States. Keywords: Human trafficking
