extradite or to afford mutual legal assistance if the requested State Party has
substantial grounds for believing that the request for extradition for offences set
forth in article 2 or for mutual legal assistance with respect to such offences has

compliance with the request would cause prejudice to that person’s position for any
of these reasons.

with the present article so agrees, that person, whatever his or her nationality, shall

personal liberty in the territory of the State to which that person is transferred in
respect of acts or convictions anterior to his or her departure from the territory of
the State from which such person was transferred.
