All over the world, the institution of extradition is becoming increasingly important. The crime affects both interpersonal and interstate relations. International cooperation in the fight against crime has traditionally been associated mainly with the need to provide legal assistance and, in particular, with the extradition of criminals. Thus, facing a criminal phenomenon that transcends the borders of their own territories, the states of the world and the international organizations involved in counteracting crime together seek solutions in order to master this phenomenon. The creation of a global security system is organically linked to the improvement of the mechanism for cooperation between states in criminal matters.
