Justice Minister Reports Surge in Extraditions and International Deals
The United Arab Emirates has focused on strengthening the framework for international judicial cooperation to combat transnational crime by developing a robust legal system based on multiple and bilateral agreements. The country has signed over 140 agreements with 53 nations. Requests for judicial assistance, such as extraditions and legal assistance, have seen a significant increase between 2021 and 2025, rising by more than 230%. A successful practical model was implemented in the case of extraditing a leader of a criminal group, with the request fulfilled within 48 hours. The process was further expedited to just 5 days through the "ICAS" digital system, which significantly streamlined administrative procedures, reflecting the confidence of international partners and the extensive international cooperation efforts the UAE aims to enhance in order to fight crimes effectively and legally.
