Abstract

The aim of this article is to study the evolution of the multilateral negotiations aimed at the expulsion of Leon Degrelle between 1945 and 1946, in an attempt to understand why Britain and the USA failed to obtain his repatriation. By following an international history approach, this article shows how legal concepts like extradition, repatriation or expulsion were, by the end of World War II, insufficiently developed to deal with the intricacies of prosecuting war criminals who had fled their countries of origins. Furthermore, this paper will underscore how those legal concepts became more about diplomacy than law, with the foreign-affairs branches of domestic governments interfering with matters that traditionally pertained to the judiciary power. The sensitivity of the Leon Degrelle case, the prominent position that he had had in Belgium, together with the need to readjust relations with the Francoist regime in the context of deteriorating relations between Western countries and the Soviet Union, forced the governments in London and Washington to tread very carefully in order to balance their national interests with the defence of justice and human rights. Ultimately, the pragmatic approach adopted by the Anglo-American authorities explains why Degrelle was not extradited to Belgium in 1945-1946.

事件的终结:1945 年至 1946 年关于德格雷尔从西班牙驱逐到比利时的国际争端

摘要

本文的目的是研究 1945 年至 1946 年间旨在驱逐莱昂·德格雷尔的多边谈判的演变,以试图理解为什么英国和美国未能将其遣返。通过遵循国际历史方法,本文展示了引渡、遣返或驱逐等法律概念在第二次世界大战结束时如何发展不足,无法处理起诉逃离原籍国的战犯的复杂性。此外,本文将强调这些法律概念如何变得更多地涉及外交而非法律,国内政府的外交事务部门干预了传统上与司法权有关的事务。莱昂·德格雷尔案的敏感性,他在比利时的显赫地位,加之在西方国家与苏联关系恶化的背景下需要重新调整与佛朗哥政权的关系,迫使伦敦和华盛顿两国政府必须非常谨慎地行事,以平衡国家利益与捍卫正义和人类的利益。权利。最终,英美当局采取的务实方法解释了为什么 Degrele 在 1945-1946 年没有被引渡到比利时。
