On 17 October 2017, the European Commission released a handbook on how to issue and execute European Arrest Warrants (EAWs) as part of its efforts to bring cross-border criminals to justice. Available in 23 languages, the handbook (roughly 130 pages depending on language) also constitutes a great legal translation resource.

The Handbook on European Arrest Warrant is accompanied by a Factsheet for Citizens, a Factsheet for Legal Practitioners (with very useful diagrams illustrating procedures), as well as statistical information.
