EUROPEAN CONVENTION ON EXTRADITION
The governments signatory hereto, being Members of the Council of Europe,
Considering that the aim of the Council of Europe is to achieve a greater unity between its Members;
Considering that this purpose can be attained by the conclusion of agreements and by common action in legal matters;
Considering that the acceptance of uniform rules with regard to extradition is likely to assist this work of unification,
Have agreed as follows:
Article 1
Obligation to extradite
The Contracting Parties undertake to surrender to each other, subject to the provisions and conditions laid down in this Convention, all persons against whom the competent authorities of the requesting Party are proceeding for an offence or who are wanted by the said authorities for the carrying out of a sentence or detention order.
Article 2
Extraditable offences
1. Extradition shall be granted in respect to offences punishable under the laws of the requesting Party and of the requested Party by deprivation of liberty or under a detention order for a maximum period of at least one year or by a more severe penalty. Where a conviction and prison sentence have occurred or a detention order has been made in the territory of the requesting Party, the punishment awarded must have been for a period of at least four months.
2. If the request for extradition includes several separate offences each of which is punishable under the laws of the requesting Party and the requested Party by deprivation of liberty or under a detention order, but of which some do not fulfil the condition with regard to the amount of punishment which may be awarded, the requested Party shall also have the right to grant extradition for the latter offences.
3. Any Contracting Party whose law does not allow extradition for certain of the offences referred to in paragraph 1 of this article may, in so far as it is concerned, exclude such offences from the application of this Convention.
4. Any Contracting Party which wishes to avail itself of the right provided for in "paragraph 3 of this article shall, at the time of the deposit of its instrument of ratification or accession, transmit to the Secretary General of the Council of Europe either a list of the offences for which extradition is allowed or a list of those for which it is excluded and shall at the same time indicate the legal provisions which allow or exclude extradition. The Secretary General of the Council shall forward these lists to the other Signatories.
5. If extradition is subsequently excluded in respect of other offences by the law of a Contracting Party, that Party shall notify the Secretary General. The Secretary General shall inform the other Signatories. Such notification shall not take effect until three months from the date of its receipt by the Secretary General.
6. Any Party which avails itself of the right provided for in paragraphs 4 or 5 of this article may at any time apply this Convention to offences which have been excluded from it. It shall inform the Secretary General of the Council of such change, and the Secretary General shall inform the other Signatories.
7. Any Party may apply reciprocity in respect of any offences excluded from the application of the Convention under this article.
Article 3
Political offences
1. Extradition shall not be granted if the offence in respect of which it is requested is regarded by the requested Party as a political offence or as an offence connected with a political offence.
2. The same rule shall apply if the requested Party has substantial grounds for believing that a request for extradition for an ordinary criminal offence has been made for the purpose of prosecuting or punishing a person on account of his race, religion, nationality or political opinion, or that that person's position may be prejudiced for any of these reasons.
3. The taking or attempted taking of the life of a Head of State or a member of his family shall not be deemed to be a political offence for the purposes of this Convention.

If, however, the person claimed is first recognised as a national of the requested Party during the period between the time of the decision and the time contemplated for the surrender, the requested Party may avail itself of the provision contained in sub-paragraph (a) of this article.
2. If the request Party does not extradite its national, it shall at the request of the requesting Party submit the case to its competent authorities in order that proceedings may be taken if they are considered appropriate. For this purpose, the files, information and exhibits relating to the offence shall be" transmitted without charge by the means provided for in Article 12, paragraph 1.

EVROPSKA KONVENCIJA
O IZROČITVI
Vlade podpisnice te Konvencije, članice Sveta Evrope, so
glede na to, da je cilj Sveta Evrope doseči večjo enotnost med njenimi članicami,
glede na to, da je ta cilj dosegljiv v sklenitvijo sporazumov in s skupnim delovanjem v pravnih zadevah,
glede na to, da bo sprejem enotnih pravil za izročitev po vsej verjetnosti v pomoč takemu enotnejšemu delu, sklenile:
1. člen
Obveznost izročitve
Pogodbenice se obvezujejo, da si bodo v skladu z določbami in pogoji te Konvencije predale vse osebe, proti katerim pristojni organi pogodbenice prosilke vodijo postopek za kaznivo dejanje ali za katerimi so omenjeni organi razpisali tiralico, da bi jih lahko obsodili ali priprli.
2. člen
Kazniva dejanja, za katera je predpisana izročitev
1. Izročitev se odobri za dejanja, ki se v skladu z zakoni pogodbenice prosilke in zaprošene pogodbenice kaznujejo z odvzemom prostosti ali v skladu s pripornim nalogom za najdaljše obdobje vsaj enega leta ali s strožjo kaznijo. Če je prišlo do obsodbe in zaporne kazni ali izdaje naloga za pripor na ozemlju pogodbenice prosilke, je morala biti kazen izrečena za vsaj štiri mesece.
2. Če prošnja za izročitev vključuje več ločenih kaznivih dejanj, katerih vsako se kaznuje po zakonih pogodbenice prosilke in zaprošene pogodbenice z odvzemom prostosti ali s pripornim nalogom, od katerih nekateri ne izpolnjujejo pogoja glede višine kazni, ki se lahko izreče, ima zaprošena pogodbenica tudi pravico, da odobri izročitev za taka kazniva dejanja.
3. Vsaka pogodbenica, po zakonih katere izročitev za nekatera kazniva dejanja, navedena v 1. odstavku tega člena, ni dovoljena, lahko, če jo to zadeva, izključi taka kazniva dejanja iz te Konvencije.
4. Vsaka pogodbenica, ki želi izkoristiti pravico, določeno v 3. odstavku tega člena, mora ob deponiranju svoje listine o ratifikaciji ali pristopu poslati generalnemu sekretarju Sveta Evrope bodisi seznam kaznivih dejanj, za katera se izročitev dovoljuje, ali seznam tistih, za katera se prepoveduje, in mora sočasno navesti pravne določbe, ki izročitev dovoljujejo ali jo prepovedujejo. Generalni sekretar mora te sezname poslati preostalim podpisnicam.
5. Če se izročitev za druga kazniva dejanja po pravu pogodbenice pozneje prepove, mora ta pogodbenica obvestiti generalnega sekretarja. Generalni sekretar mora o tem obvestiti druge podpisnice. Tako obvestilo pa prične veljati šele tri mesece po datumu, ko ga je prejel generalni sekretar.
6. Vsaka pogodbenica, ki izkoristi pravico, predvideno v 4. ali 5. odstavku tega člena, lahko kadar koli uporabi to Konvencijo za kazniva dejanja, ki so bila iz nje izvzeta. O takih spremembah mora obvestiti generalnega sekretarja, ta pa mora obvestiti druge podpisnice. 7. Vsaka pogodbenica lahko uporabi načelo vzajemnosti za vsa kazniva dejanja, ki jih v skladu s tem členom ta konvencija izključuje.
3. člen
Politična kazniva dejanja
1. Izročitev se ne odobri, če zaprošena pogodbenica kaznivo dejanje, zaradi katerega se izročitev zahteva, šteje za politično kaznivo dejanje ali kot dejanje, povezano s političnim kaznivim dejanjem.
2. Isto pravilo velja, če ima zaprošena pogodbenica utemeljen razlog, da meni, da je bila prošnja za izročitev za navadno kaznivo dejanje vložena z namenom preganjanja ali kaznovanja osebe zaradi njene rase, vere, narodnosti" ali političnega prepričanja ali da je ta oseba zaradi tega lahko v slabšem položaju iz katerega koli od teh razlogov.
3. Atentat ali poskus atentata na voditelja države ali člana njegove družine se po tej Konvenciji ne šteje za politično kaznivo dejanje.
4. Ta člen ne vpliva na kakršne koli obveznosti, ki so jih pogodbenice sprejele ali jih bodo sprejele v skladu s katero koli drugo večstransko mednarodno konvencijo.
4. člen
Vojaška kazniva dejanja
Izročitev za kazniva dejanja po vojnem pravu, ki pa niso kazniva dejanja po običajnem kazenskem pravu, ni vključena v to Konvencijo.
5. člen
Kazniva dejanja v zvezi z davki
V skladu z določbami te Konvencije se izročitev za kazniva dejanja v zvezi z davki, dajatvami, carinami in devizami odobri le, če so pogodbenice tako odločile za taka dejanja ali za tako vrsto kaznivih dejanj.
6. člen
Izročitev državljanov
1. a) Pogodbenica ima pravico zavrniti izročitev svojih državljanov.
b) Vsaka pogodbenica lahko z izjavo ob podpisu ali shranitvi listine o ratifikaciji ali pristopu zase opredeli izraz »državljani« za namene te Konvencije.
c) Državljanstvo se določi med odločitvijo glede izročitve. Če pa je zahtevana oseba najprej prepoznana za državljana zaprošene pogodbenice v obdobju med odločitvijo in časom, v katerem mora zaprošena pogodbenica premisliti o predaji, lahko le-ta izkoristi določbo iz pododstavka a) tega člena.
2. Če zaprošena pogodbenica ne izroči svojega državljana, mora na zahtevo pogodbenice prosilke predati zadevo svojim pristojnim organom, da lahko sprožijo postopek, če se to šteje za ustrezno. V ta namen se spisi, podatki in dokazi v zvezi s kaznivim dejanjem pošljejo brezplačno na način, določen v 1. odstavku 12. člena. Pogodbenico prosilko je treba obvestiti, kako je rešena njena prošnja.
7. člen
Kraj zagrešitve kaznivega dejanja
1. Zaprošena pogodbenica lahko zavrne izročitev osebe zaradi kaznivega dejanja, za katero se v skladu z njenim pravom šteje, da je bilo v celoti ali delno storjeno na njenem ozemlju ali v kraju, ki se šteje za njeno ozemlje. Če je bilo kaznivo dejanje, zaradi katerega se izročitev zahteva, storjeno zunaj ozemlja pogodbenice prosilke, se lahko izročitev zavrne le, če zakon zaprošene pogodbenice ne dovoljuje pregona za isto kategorijo kaznivega, dejanja, če je to storjeno zunaj ozemlja te pogodbenice ali če izročitev za tako vrsto kaznivega dejanja ni dovoljena.
8. člen
Postopek, ki teče za isto kaznivo dejanje
Zaprošena pogodbenica lahko zavrne izročitev zahtevane osebe, če pristojni organi te pogodbenice proti tej osebi vodijo kazenski postopek za kaznivo dejanje ali dejanja, za katera se zahteva izročitev.
9. člen
Ne bis in idem
Izročitev se ne odobri, če so pristojni organi zaprošene pogodbenice že izrekli pravnomočno sodbo osebi zaradi kaznivega dejanja ali kaznivih dejanj, za katera se izročitev zahteva. Izročitev se lahko zavrne, če so pristojni organi zaprošene pogodbenice sklenili, bodisi da ne bodo uvedli postopka za isto kaznivo dejanje ali da ga bodo končali.
10. člen
Zastaranje
Izročitev se ne odobri, če je zahtevana oseba po zakonu pogodbenice prosilke in zaprošene pogodbenice postala izvzeta iz pregona ali kaznovanja zaradi zastaranja.
11. člen
Smrtna kazen
Če je za dejanje, za katero se zahteva izročitev, po zakonu pogodbenice prosilke predvidena smrtna kazen, ta pa po zakonu zaprošene pogodbenice za tako kaznivo dejanje ni predvidena ali se običajno ne izvrši, se lahko izročitev zavrne, razen če ne da pogodbenica prosilka takih zagotovil, ki se zdijo zaprošeni pogodbenici zadostna, da ne bo izvršila smrtne kazni.
12. člen
Prošnja in dokazila
1. Prošnja mora biti pisna in jo je treba poslati po diplomatski poti. O drugih načinih obveščanja pa se lahko pogodbenici ali več pogodbenic dogovori v neposrednem dogovoru.
2. Prošnji je treba priložiti:
a) Izvirnik ali overjeno kopijo izvršljive sodbe ali pripornega naloga s takojšnjo veljavnostjo ali zapornega naloga ali druge listine z istim učinkom, izdane skladno s postopkom, določenim v zakonu pogodbenice prosilke;
b) izjavo o kaznivih dejanjih, za katera se zahteva izročitev. Kolikor mogoče točno je treba navesti kraj in čas njihove zagrešitve, njihov pravni opis in sklicevanje na ustrezne pravne določbe;
c) prepis ustreznih zakonskih določb ali, če to ni možno, navedbo ustreznega zakona in kolikor mogoče točen opis zahtevane osebe skupaj z vsemi drugimi podatki, ki bodo pomagali ugotoviti njeno identiteto in državljanstvo.
13. člen
Dodatne informacije
Če podatki, ki jih je sporočila pogodbenica prosilka, ne zadoščajo, da bi lahko zaprošena pogodbenica sprejela odločitev v skladu s to Konvencijo, potem lahko le-ta zaprosi za potrebne informacije in določi rok za prejem le-teh.
14. člen
Načelo specialnosti
1. Proti izročeni osebi se ne sme uvesti postopek ali je obsoditi ali pripreti, da bi izvršili obsodbo ali priporni nalog za katero koli drugo kaznivo dejanje, storjeno pred njeno izročitvijo, in ne tisto, zaradi katerega je bila izročena, in se tudi iz kakega drugega razloga ne sme omejevati v njeni osebni svobodi, razen v naslednjih primerih:
a) če pogodbenica, ki jo je izročila, privoli. Prošnjo za privolitev je treba poslati skupaj z dokumenti, omenjenimi v 12.. členu, in pravno veljavnim zapisnikom izjave, ki jo je dala izročena oseba o zagrešenem kaznivem dejanju. Privoljenje se da, če je za samo kaznivo dejanje, za katero se ta privolitev prosi, predvidena izročitev v skladu z določbami te Konvencije;
b) če oseba, ki je imela možnost, da zapusti ozemlje pogodbenice, ki ji je bila predana, tega ni storila v 45, dneh od končne odpustitve ali se je vrnila na to ozemlje, potem ko ga je zapustila.
2. Pogodbenica, prosilka pa lahko ukrene vse potrebno, da odstrani to osebo s svojega ozemlja ali sprejme kakršen koli drug ukrep v skladu s svojimi zakoni, vključno s sodnim postopkom v odsotnosti, da bi preprečila pravne učinke zastaranja.
3. Če se opis kaznivega dejanja, ki ga je oseba obtožena, med postopkom spremeni, se proti izročeni osebi vodi postopek ali se obtoži le, če se za kaznivo dejanje po novem opisu s pomočjo sestavnih elementov dokaže, da gre za dejanje, za katero se izročitev dovoli.
15. člen
Izročitev tretji državi
Z izjemo določil 1. b) odstavka 14. člena pogodbenica prosilka brez privoljenja zaprošene pogodbenice ne sme predati drugi pogodbenici ali tretji državi osebe, ki ji je bila izročena in jo je ta druga pogodbenica ali tretja država iskala zaradi kaznivih dejanj storjenih pred izročitvijo te osebe. Zaprošena pogodbenica lahko zahteva predložitev dokumentov, omenjenih v 2. odstavku 12. člena.
16. člen
Začasen pripor
1. V nujnem primeru lahko pristojni organi pogodbenice prosilke zaprosijo za začasen pripor iskane osebe. Pristojni organi zaprošene pogodbenice morajo odločiti o zadevi v skladu s svojim pravom.
2. V prošnji za začasen pripor mora biti navedeno, da obstaja eden od dokumentov, omenjenih v 2.a) odstavku 12. člena in da se namerava poslati prošnja za izročitev. Navajati mora tudi, za katero kaznivo dejanje se bo izročitev zahtevala, kje in kdaj je bilo to kaznivo dejanje storjeno in mora, če je le možno, podati opis iskane osebe.
3. Prošnjo za začasen pripor je treba poslati pristojnim organom zaprošene pogodbenice, bodisi po diplomatski poti ali neposredno po pošti ali telegrafsko ali preko Interpola ali s kakršnim koli drugim sredstvom, ki omogoča pošiljanje pisnih dokazov ali ga je zaprošena pogodbenica sprejela. Organ, ki je zaprosil za izročitev, bo nemudoma obveščen, kako je bila rešena njegova prošnja.
4. Začasen pripor se sme odpraviti, če zaprošena stran v 18 dneh od pripora ni prejela prošnje za izročitev in dokumentov, omenjenih v 12. členu. V nobenem primeru pa ne sme preteči več kot 40 dni od dneva pripora. Možnost za začasno izpustitev ob katerem koli času ni izključena, toda zaprošena pogodbenica mora ukreniti vse potrebno, da prepreči pobeg iskane osebe.
5. Izpustitev ni ovira za začasen pripor in izročitev, če prošnja za izročitev prispe pozneje.
17. člen
Več prošenj za izročitev
Če izročitev sočasno zahteva več kot ena država bodisi za enako kaznivo dejanje ali za različna kazniva dejanja, se zaprošena pogodbenica odloči ob upoštevanju vseh okoliščin in še zlasti relativne resnosti in kraja zagrešitve kaznivih dejanj, datumov prošenj, državljanstva zahtevane osebe in možnosti za kasnejšo izročitev drugi državi.

5. Če pogodbenica iz razlogov, na katere ne more vplivati, ne preda ali. prevzame osebe, katere izročitev se zahteva, mora o tem obvestiti drugo pogodbenico. Pogodbenici se dogovorita za drug datum predaje in v tem primeru veljajo določbe 4. odstavka tega člena.
19. člen
Odložena ali pogojna predaja
1. Potem ko se je odločila o prošnji za izročitev, lahko zaprošena pogodbenica odloži predajo zahtevane osebe, zato da lahko sama proti njej uvede postopek ali če je ta oseba že bila obsojena, tako da lahko prestaja zaporno kazen na ozemlju te pogodbenice, a za drugo kaznivo dejanje kot tisto, za katero se izročitev zahteva.

2. Če osebo, katere izročitev se zahteva, zaprošena država obvesti o odločbi, ki je bila zoper njo izdana v nenavzočnosti, država prosilka tega obvestila ne šteje za notifikacijo, ki ima posledice glede kazenskega postopka v zadevni državi.".
