On January 29, 2015, the European Court of Human Rights (the Court) declared inadmissible an application in the case of Aswat v. the United Kingdom challenging the sufficiency of the U.S. government’s assurances concerning the extradition and detention of Haroon Aswat, a British national suspected of conspiring to commit acts of terrorism in the United States. According to the press release, the Court had declared in a decision from 2013 that the extradition of Aswat, who suffered from paranoid schizophrenia, would be in violation of article 3 (prohibition of inhuman and degrading treatment) of the European Convention on Human Rights. He was later extradited to the United States after the U.S. government provided “comprehensive assurances and additional information” to the government of the United Kingdom concerning the conditions of his detention and eventual trial.  Aswat challenged the sufficiency of the United States’ assurances, but the Court maintained that “the concerns raised in its earlier judgment had been directly addressed” and it found no real risk he would be subjected to treatment contrary to the Convention. The Court declared “his complaint to be manifestly ill-founded pursuant to Article 35 of the Convention and declared his application inadmissible.”
