uin	57105
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/10/2021 answer text <p>In UK extradition cases, requested persons are given the opportunity of a fair and balanced hearing before an independent court, with procedures which are robust and transparent. It is the role of the UK courts to thoroughly examine whether the conditions which would allow an extradition to take place are met.</p><p>These conditions include a comprehensive and rigorous assessment of whether extradition is compatible with the human rights of requested individuals. If there is a risk that the extradition could lead to a breach of those rights, the Extradition Act 2003 (‘the Act’) creates a statutory bar to extradition. Human rights are an extensive suite of protections contained in the Act, which fall to be considered by the courts in every case and includes the risk of torture. These considerations are a judicial not an executive function.</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 20/10/2021 16:48:23 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds
