Mutual Legal Assistance refers to a process where countries cooperate to provide support in legal matters, particularly in criminal cases. This cooperation can include sharing evidence, locating witnesses, and executing search warrants. The goal is to help ensure that justice is served across borders, especially when crimes involve multiple jurisdictions. Countries typically enter into treaties or agreements to establish the framework for this assistance. These agreements outline the procedures and conditions under which assistance can be requested and provided, ensuring that legal standards are upheld while facilitating international cooperation in law enforcement.
