3 In addition to the need to secure justice for the failure to comply with the recommendations of the merits report, the Commission believes that this case raises questions related to the inter-American public order. Specifically, it offers the first opportunity for the Inter-American Court to develop jurisprudence on the standards to be observed in processes and decisions related to extradition proceedings, in order to keep states from violating their international obligations under the American Convention. Specifically, the Court could rule on the topic of diplomatic guarantees and other types of assurances to ensure the strict enforcement of the principle of not extraditing persons who could then face the risk of suffering torture. In addition, the Court could rule on the details of the diplomatic guarantees and other types of assurances that are necessary to ensure that the death penalty is not imposed on a person extradited from a state that has already abolished capital punishment. Since these matters have a significant impact on the inter-American public order, in compliance with Article 35.1.f of the Inter-American Court’s Rules of Procedure, the Commission proposes testimony be heard from the following experts: 1. A person whose name will be informed shortly, to testify on the guarantees of due process and the right to personal liberty in proceedings brought to decide on the extradition of a person. The expert will analyze this issue from the point of view of states’ international obligations, including references to the different regulatory and institutional designs available for extradition proceedings in order to ensure their compatibility with the minimum standards for liberty and due process. 2. A person whose name will be informed shortly, who will speak of the international standards, including the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights and the rulings of the United Nations treaty Committees, and of the reception, processing, and appraisal of diplomatic guarantees and other assurances extended by requesting states in extradition proceedings, as regards both the freedom from torture and the non-enforcement of the death penalty.
