The asylum and extradition or the criminal pursuit and persecution. Important concepts that create difficulties in the judicial practice

By, Xhezair Zaganjori

Introduction

In this article, I will briefly analyze a very important and actual theme related to reciprocal influences of two similar judicial regimes, such as the asylum and the extradition, which frequently have problems or difficulties in application in judicial practice. From a more general point of view, difficulties may arise in the English language from a vocabulary point of view, which frequently also generates problems in interpretation. For instance, such may be the case for the terms prosecution and persecution, which formally are translated respectively as criminal charge and persecution. I would also like to emphasize on the theoretical and practical importance, domestically and internationally, on matters related to asylum and extradition. The integrating and globalizing processes, the liberalization and the opening of frontiers, the effective war against international criminality, the consolidation of the state of law, the guaranteeing of individual fundamental rights and liberties, the protection of people in necessity from persecution because of race, religion, nationality, membership in a certain social group or because of political convictions, as essential values of the community of nations, are some of the main reasons that encourage the debate for a more effective application of these institutes.
