Flight risk in extradition proceedings: requirement of concrete and specific elements
✕
Summary
Flight risk which justifies the application of a measure restricting personal liberty, may be understood as the risk that the requested person may leave the territory of the requested State, thereby jeopardizing compliance with the international obligation to secure their surrender to the requesting State. However, the existence of such a risk must be duly reasoned and grounded on concrete, specific, and indicative elements demonstrating a genuine propensity and a real possibility of clandestine departure by the requested person. Such elements must have a close connection to the factual circumstances and must not be based on presumptions, preconceived general assessments, or merely possible and hypothetical scenarios according to abstract human contingencies.
