An analysis of the decision of the court

(12.03.2025) Connection e.V. presents an analysis of the decision of the German Federal High Court (BGH) issued January 16, 2025. The BGH defined whether a Ukrainian citizen may be extradited even though he has declared that he is a conscientious objector and Ukraine has suspended the right to conscientious objection at the beginning of war.
