How does Turkey’s relationship with the European Court of Human Rights affect my extradition case?

Turkey remains bound by the European Convention on Human Rights, and the ECtHR retains jurisdiction over Turkish extradition decisions. If domestic appeals fail, you can apply to the ECtHR and request an interim measure under Rule 39 to suspend extradition pending review. The ECtHR has previously granted such measures in Turkey cases involving extradition to states with documented torture risks or unfair trial concerns. However, Rule 39 requests require immediate action — applications must be submitted before physical transfer occurs, and the ECtHR will not intervene retroactively once extradition is executed.
