INTERESTING SIMILARITIES ON RECENT EXTRADITION ISSUES: DUBAI DOING IT RIGHT Dubai vs.Djibouti Why Dubai refused to extradite Abdourahman Boreh to Djibouti The ruling by the Dubai court against Djibouti’s request for the extradition of French-Djibouti businessman Abdourahman Boreh is a snub to President Ismail Omar Guelleh. The court chaired by the female Judge Aissa Mohamed Sharif issued its ruling at the end of April. The court has really distanced itself from the rulings of the Djibouti tribunal that had condemned Abdourahman Boreh for terrorism. The Dubai judge deemed that her country was not bound to execute the Djibouti court ruling, because it had “been made in absentia” and that “nothing contained in the documents submitted by the Djibouti government made it enforceable”. According to the Dubai court, an arrest warrant cannot be issued “because such a measure must come from an investigating magistrate before trial and condemnation in absentia”.
