Committee to consider Czech Republic Extradition Treaty
Parliament of Australia
The Joint Standing Committee on Treaties will hold a
public hearing today into the Treaty on Extradition between Australia and the Czech Republic.
Committee Chair, Mr Josh Wilson MP said: “This Treaty will contribute
to the law enforcement cooperation between Australia and the Czech Republic, a
like-minded country with a mutual interest in responding to serious and
organised crime.”
The Treaty provides a comprehensive framework for
Australia and the Czech Republic to work together on extradition matters. This
includes the surrender of an individual from one country to the other for criminal
prosecution or to serve a prison sentence.
This Treaty will streamline cooperation between
the two countries and is an important way to respond to transnational and
serious crime threats, including illicit drugs, other illicit commodities, and
cybercrime.
“This Treaty will ensure that people who have left
Australia are not able to avoid justice for crimes that have been committed.
Australia will also be better able to assist the Czech Republic by returning
alleged criminals,” Mr Wilson said.
