request for extradition [Global Index]
... 2. When a State Party which makes extradition conditional on the existence of a
treaty receives a request for extradition from another State Party with which it has
no extradition treaty, the requested State Party may, at its option, consider this
Convention as a legal basis for extradition in respect of the offences set forth in
article 2. Extradition shall be subject to the other conditions provided by the law of
the requested State. ...
...
None of the offences set forth in article 2 shall be regarded, for the purposes of
extradition or mutual legal assistance, as a political offence or as an offence
connected with a political offence or as an offence inspired by political motives.
Accordingly, a request for extradition or for mutual legal assistance based on such
an offence may not be refused on the sole ground that it concerns a political offence
or an offence connected with a political offence or an offence inspired by political
motives.
...
...
Nothing in this Convention shall be interpreted as imposing an obligation to
extradite or to afford mutual legal assistance if the requested State Party has
substantial grounds for believing that the request for extradition for offences set
forth in article 2 or for mutual legal assistance with respect to such offences has
been made for the purpose of prosecuting or punishing a person on account of that
person’s race, religion, nationality, ethnic origin or political opinion or that
compliance with the request would cause prejudice to that person’s position for any
of these reasons.
