Death penalty   This article has been interpreted as prohibiting a state from extraditing an individual to another state if they are likely to suffer the death penalty  I dont think thats true To my knowledge in the Soering case they specifically found that extraditing someone to face the death penalty didnt violate this article It was the death row phenomenom of waiting decades for the sentence to be executed that was found to be inhuman and degrading not the death penalty itself If he would have been swiftly executed on conviction he could have been extradited I should really be studying for exams but I just thought Id put this out there quickly Hopefully Ill come back and edit it myself when I have more time but if anyone wants to do it in the meantime it might help the article
