On April 7, attorney Antonio Pedro Rodríguez Bernal, Director of this law firm, will deliver a lecture at the 6th International Congress on Human Rights and Globalisation on The Application of International Human Rights Standards in Extradition Proceedings before Spanish Courts. During his presentation, he will analyse the implementation of fundamental principles—such as the European Convention on Human Rights and other international treaties—in extradition processes in Spain, highlighting relevant case law and the impact of decisions of the European Court of Human Rights.
The speaker will address the challenges faced by Spanish courts in ensuring that the fundamental rights of requested persons are not violated, particularly the principle of non-refoulement and the right to a fair trial. Rodríguez Bernal will underline the importance of ensuring that extradition proceedings fully comply with international standards, safeguarding the dignity and rights of the individuals involved and promoting a fair and equitable system of international justice.
