I want to re-emphasise to the noble Lords that we are not reducing broader ECHR protections or safeguards in the Extradition Act, which apply in all cases. When a request is received from any country, our courts will consider whether the requested person’s extradition is compatible with their convention rights. It remains the position that a UK court must order the requested person’s discharge from their extradition proceedings if extradition is not compatible with their convention rights.
