Abstract: 

           On May 29, 2024, a landmark decision by District Judge (Magistrates’ courts) Briony Josephine Clarke revealed significant implications for international enforcement law, particularly regarding extradition practices and human rights considerations. The case involved a Brazilian national on Interpol's wanted list, whose extradition to Brazil was denied by the United Kingdom on the grounds of potential human rights violations.[1]
