An e-Learning course developed under a European project
The e-Learning course “Implementing the European Arrest Warrant (EAW): Promoting Human Rights” has been developed in the scope of the AWARE-EAW project, which is funded by the European Commission – DG JUST and coordinated by the Senate of Justice and Constitution of Bremen (Germany).
The AWARE EAW project aims at increasing the cross-border cooperation between EU Member States using two Framework Decisions (FDs) in particular: 2002/584/JHA on the European arrest warrant and the surrender procedures between Member States and 2008/909/JHA on the application of the principle of mutual recognition to judgments in criminal matters imposing custodial sentences or measures involving deprivation of liberty for the purpose of their enforcement in the European Union.
