ANNEX TO THE 1996 CONVENTION

Declaration by Greece re Article 5

Greece interprets Article 5 from the standpoint of paragraph 3 thereof. This interpretation ensures compliance with the conditions of the Greek constitution, which:

  • expressly prohibits extradition of a foreigner pursued for activities for freedom, and

  • distinguishes between political and so-called mixed offences, for which the rules are not the same as for political offences.
