Croatia, Supreme Court of the Republic, Judgement of 17 February 2014 - Judicial Cooperation Project
Supreme Court of the Croatian Republic (Vrhovni Sud Republike Hrvatske), Judgement of 17 February 2014, Case registration no. I Kz 52/14-6
Extradition – principle of non-refoulement – relationship between non-refoulement and extradition – asylum – relationship between asylum applications and extradition
The case falls within the scope of the Charter as it involves the examination by national authorities of a third-country national asylum application pursuant to the EU Dublin Regulation system. Neveetherless, the national court fails to send in an explicit manner to the Charter relevant provisions.
Art 19 (2) - Protection in the event of removal, expulsion or extradition ( principle of non-refoulement)
Art 18 - Right to asylum
Even if the above Charter rights were relevant to the case, the Supreme Court did not explicitly engage in their analysis
The two most important holdings of the Supreme Court in the judgment are as follows:
Non-refoulement as a limitation of extradition is not part of the judicial examination of legal requirements for extradition. The Minister of Justice, as the one giving a final decision on extradition, should be the one to decide about the right to non-refoulement.
The applicant’s asylum application is not a ground for denying the extradition request, as it is nowhere mentioned in ICLMA, nor required by the European Convention on Extradition.
