Key legal question
Whether extradition to Ecuador violates Art. 2 EIMP because the appellant risks ill-treatment or an unfair trial.
Extracted holding
The extradition could be upheld because the risks were not shown with the required seriousness and were sufficiently addressed by diplomatic assurances and Swiss monitoring.
Extracted reasoning
Art. 2 EIMP bars cooperation only where there are serious, objective grounds to fear grave human-rights violations. Ecuador was treated as a democratic state; despite poor prison conditions and concerns about justice, the specific guarantees obtained, including protection against mistreatment and monitoring through the Swiss embassy, were considered sufficient.
