How does the German BVerfG help in extradition cases?

Germany’s Federal Constitutional Court can issue binding interim measures (einstweilige Anordnungen) within hours to prevent extradition where fundamental rights are at risk. These orders are binding on all German authorities. The BVerfG has used this power extensively in cases involving Russia, Central Asian states, and other countries with documented human rights concerns.
