Every State Party shall also take the necessary measures to establish its
jurisdiction over the crime described in this Convention when the alleged criminal
is within the area under its jurisdiction and it is not appropriate to extradite him
in accordance with Article 11.
This Convention does not exclude criminal jurisdiction exercised in accordance
with domestic law.
Article 13
The crime referred to in Article 2 shall be deemed to be included among the
extraditable crimes in every extradition treaty entered into between States
Parties. The States Parties undertake to include the crime of torture as an
extraditable offence in every extradition treaty to be concluded between them.
Every State Party that makes extradition conditional on the existence of a treaty
may, if it receives a request for extradition from another State Party with which it
has no extradition treaty, consider this Convention as the legal basis for
extradition in respect of the crime of torture. Extradition shall be subject to the
other conditions that may be required by the law of the requested State.
States Parties which do not make extradition conditional on the existence of a
treaty shall recognize such crimes as extraditable offences between themselves,
subject to the conditions required by the law of the requested State.
Extradition shall not be granted nor shall the person sought be returned when
there are grounds to believe that his life is in danger, that he will be subjected to
torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment, or that he will be tried by
special or ad hoc courts in the requesting State.
Article 14
When a State Party does not grant the extradition, the case shall be submitted to
its competent authorities as if the crime had been committed within its
jurisdiction, for the purposes of investigation, and when appropriate, for criminal
action, in accordance with its national law. Any decision adopted by these
authorities shall be communicated to the State that has requested the
extradition.
Article 15
No provision of this Convention may be interpreted as limiting the right of
asylum, when appropriate, nor as altering the obligations of the States Parties in
the matter of extradition.
