<p>The UK’s transposition of the European arrest warrant fully complied with the concept
of habeas corpus.</p><p>A decision whether to order surrender under an EAW is made
by a UK judge who considers all relevant legal issues, including: whether the conduct
would amount to a criminal offence in the UK; applicable bars to extradition such
as double jeopardy; politically motivated requests and whether the case against the
accused is sufficiently advanced. The requesting State must meet human rights standards,
which includes adequate living conditions for the accused. If there is doubt, the
UK seeks assurances and ultimately the judge may refuse the EAW if they are not satisfied
these standards will be met.</p>
