Die Auslieferung an den Internationalen Strafgerichtshof

In 2000, Germany modified its constitution so that German nationals can be extradited to international courts if certain conditions are met. This amendment raises questions about the extent of human rights protection granted under the German constitution in these cases. The thesis focuses mainly on articles 16 section 2 and 24 section 1 of the German Basic Law. Christina Globke argues that both share a similar legal structure, implying a specific scope of human rights guarantees and their enforceability. The legal framework of the International Criminal Court as the major example for the international cooperation in criminal matters in current international relations is given special attention.
