Fråga om utlämning för straffverkställighet. En utlämning till Bosnien och Hercegovina har ansetts inte vara oförenlig med artikel 6 i Europakonventionen om rätt till en rättvis rättegång. För att brott mot artikel 6 ska anses föreligga vid utlämning krävs att den dömde har utsatts för en flagrant orättvisa. Så är fallet om brottet mot artikel 6 är så grundläggande att den rätt som garanteras i artikeln helt tillintetgjorts eller att kärnan i rätten har ödelagts.
