The Czech Republic will not extradite to Ukraine en masse men who evade military service. But Ukrainian courts can request the extradition of a specific person.
He noted that the Czech Republic will not extradite draft dodgers to Ukraine, since the European Convention excludes extradition for war crimes, evasion of military service, desertion or disobedience of an order.
However, in some cases, the Ukrainian authorities may file a request for extradition.
“But in a particular case it will not depend on the legal qualifications, but on the actual behavior, according to which the Ukrainian judicial authorities will ultimately submit a request for the extradition of a particular person,” Rzepka said.
Extradition of draft dodgers in Ukraine
Let us note that after the start of mobilization in Ukraine in February 2022, schemes began to emerge for those liable for military service to travel abroad – those who do not have the right to a deferment or exemption from mobilization on legal grounds.
The head of the Servant of the People faction, David Arakhamia, stated that Ukrainian law enforcement agencies in almost any country in the world can request the extradition of people who traveled abroad using fake IHC documents .
At the same time, People’s Deputy Fyodor Venislavsky noted that there will be no mass extradition of draft dodgers to Ukraine from abroad .
