In an article for the New Statesman’s blog, Professor Valsamis Mitsilegas contends that we need clarity on the European Arrest Warrant, so that this logical and useful legal instrument does not fall victim to an "emotive political bun fight".
In the blog post Professor Mitsilegas, Head of the Department of Law and Professor of European Criminal Law at Queen Mary, argues that the "political storm surrounding the "on again off again" parliamentary vote on the European Arrest Warrant (EAW) underlines the complexity of an issue which is not easily defined in right versus left terms."
