THE LATEST TRENDS OF EXTRADICTION AND THE PROBLEM OF IMPLEMENTING THEM IN THE POST-SOVIET SPACE

Abstract

All the post-Soviet states adopted a codification act on criminal procedure and improved the
regulation of international cooperation in the extradition of persons within the framework of
their national legislation, yet there are certain modern trends in the developed international
cooperation on extradition among the post-Soviet states. A comprehensive disclosure of the
legal nature, development of a more effective mechanism, identification of general
development trends and formulation of conclusions and proposals for improving the
institution of extradition is needed, based on comparative legal, concrete historical, and legal
dogmatic methods, and on synthesis, deduction and induction, as well as a systemic and
structural approach. There is a tendency to constantly improve the legal regulation of this
issue; the present research concludes it is necessary to expand those trends that give more
possibilities for extradition of persons to a foreign state.
