THE CONVENTIONS ADOPTED WITHIN THE EUROPEAN UNION WITH REGARD TO THE INTERNATIONAL LEGAL ASSISTANCE IN CRIMINAL MATTERS
Journal Title: Challenges of the Knowledge Society - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 0
Abstract
The study of the legal and penal mechanism by which European Union Member States jointly act for preventing and combating certain categories of crimes, includes the analysis of conventions regarding legal assistance that Member States undertake to grant each other the catching and prosecution of people who commit crimes on their territory, either violating the domestic criminal law or the international criminal law represented by international conventions that require signatory states to incriminate or punish certain categories of crimes, against which they pledged to fight together. Conventions adopted at European Union level concerning international legal assistance in criminal matters, give legal expression to the most complex and most effective form of cooperation between States in the fight against crime, establishing brand new ways of international legal assistance in criminal matters.The importance of the Conventions regarding legal assistance in criminal matters result from the fact that they ensure the correct application of European criminal law relating to combating the worst types of crimes, making possible criminal liability and conviction of various crimes, with the help of other member states of the European conventions.
