Challenging national court decisions in the administrative legal domain is a core area of our expertise, as its case law forms the foundation for all other international human rights matters, including extradition, entry refusals, residence permit denials, and unlawful judicial proceedings. The jurisprudence of the ECtHR also underpins the decisions of INTERPOL. Therefore, litigation before the Strasbourg Court is not only our primary specialization but also our foundational qualification.

We represent clients in cases involving extradition proceedings, entry refusals, asylum applications denials, and expulsions, ensuring that domestic decisions are challenged both at the national and international level. Our practice includes urgent applications for interim measures before the ECtHR, which often constitute the only effective tool to stop unlawful surrender or removal. We are experienced in the procedure of balancing competing interests, with particular focus on family-related cases, as well as in invoking the absolute prohibition of torture and ill-treatment in matters concerning extradition and politically motivated or unlawful criminal prosecution.

The International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) plays a crucial role in facilitating international cooperation among law enforcement agencies. However, being listed in the INTERPOL database can significantly affect a person’s everyday life, leading to:

• Refusal of residency or naturalisation
• Refusal of visas
• Restrictions in banking, business registration, licensing, accreditation, and partnership opportunities
• Risk of arrest while travelling
• Exposure to extradition proceedings.

An INTERPOL lawyer must have outstanding expertise, as the Commission for the Control of INTERPOL’s Files (CCF) applies a strict framework for processing applications and does not provide an opportunity to re-examine the same case or appeal its decision before any other body. This means that the CCF considers each request only once, making it essential that the application be prepared with the highest level of professionalism. A revision of a CCF decision is possible only in the event of the emergence of new facts, which is also allowed but requires a very careful approach in determining whether genuinely new circumstances exist during the CCF Revision.

If there is not yet any data in INTERPOL’s repositories, it is possible to prevent the publication of a notice by submitting a preventive request to INTERPOL, which is formally acknowledged by the General Secretariat as an INTERPOL pre-emptive request.

Extradition is a dangerous procedure, which in some cases may be carried out without a proper examination of the underlying criminal file. Courts sometimes authorise extradition without fully considering the risks that the requested person could face upon surrender. Nevertheless, where there are signs of serious human rights violations - such as a risk of torture, inhuman or degrading treatment, or when the request is politically motivated or abusive - international bodies can intervene directly in the national judicial process and bar the surrender. Such urgent protective orders are called interim measures.

Our team, specialising in human rights law, has the expertise to lodge applications before international human rights organisations where expulsion or extradition may violate fundamental rights standards. The European Court of Human Rights (Rule 39), the UN Human Rights Committee (Optional Protocol), and the Committee against Torture (Article 22 UNCAT) all have the authority to intervene in extradition and expulsion cases. By granting interim measures, these bodies can order a State to suspend removal proceedings until the case has been examined on the merits.
