In particular, the provision should be qualified so as to ensure its consistency with the obligation not to extradite persons in cases where they might be subject to torture or other violations in the receiving State.
В частности, это положение следовало бы уточнить таким образом, чтобы обеспечить его соответствие с обязательством не выдавать лиц в тех случаях, когда в принимающем государстве они могут подвергнуться пыткам или другим нарушениям.
