Abstract:
On October 16, 2012, Mrs. Theresa May, the Secretary of State for the Home Department, announced the United Kingdom has withdrawn the extradition order against him on humanitarian grounds and the U.K. government would opt out of all pre-Lisbon treaty police and criminal justice measures. In that regard, the UK government will carefully consider, inter alia, the European arrest warrant and will then seek to opt back into the individual measures where it deems it in its national interest.[1]
