Abstract
Abstract This analysis will review some of the salient features of extradition law simplification measures proposed under the EAW, and touch upon the constitutionality of introducing such changes in Norway. The implications for the procedural safeguards of the current extradition mechanism, and the increasing tendency to replace the monopoly on national sovereignty previously held by nation-states by sovereignty-sharing notions involving international organizations and institutions, will also be explored. The evolution of European Extradition is outlined, followed by an introduction to the EAW. In conclusion, recommendations are made as regards the most appropriate stance to be adopted by Norway in considering whether to implement the EAW.
