Eljuttatás

Eljuttaminen, or eljuttatuminen (eljuttatás), is a Finnish term used in legal and administrative contexts to describe the act of handing over or transferring a person or, less commonly, a thing to another authority or jurisdiction. In practice, it is most often associated with processes of extradition or surrender, where a state delivers a suspect or convicted person to another state or to a foreign authority for prosecution, trial, or punishment. The concept is closely related to luovuttaminen (handing over) and to mechanisms under international agreements.

Contexts and applications include international cooperation in criminal matters, deportation or removal procedures, and transfers under international or supranational frameworks, such as European arrest warrant regimes within the European Union. Eljuttaminen can involve complex legal and human rights considerations, including the grounds for extradition, the prohibition of refoulement, and ensuring fair trial standards.

Legal framework and safeguards typically require that eljuttaminen follow applicable national laws and international treaties. Decisions are usually made by competent authorities, such as courts and/or government ministries, and may involve multiple procedural steps, including evaluation of admissibility, rights to legal counsel, and avenues for appeal or review. Particular attention is given to proportionality, non-discrimination, and protection of fundamental rights throughout the process.

Notes: eljuttaminen is a specialized term found mainly in legal and administrative texts and may be used interchangeably with more widely understood terms like extradition or handing over in specific contexts.
