3) Nobena določba te konvencije se ne razlaga kot obveznost izročitve, če osebi, ki jo je treba izročiti, grozi smrtna kazen ali dosmrtni zapor brez možnosti pogojnega odpusta, če pravo zaprošene pogodbenice ne pozna dosmrtnega zapora, razen če ni zaprošena pogodbenica v skladu z veljavnimi pogodbami zavezana izročitvi, če pogodbenica prosilka predloži zagotovilo, ki je po mnenju zaprošene pogodbenice zadostno, da smrtna kazen ne bo izrečena, ali če je izrečena, ne bo izvršena, ali da oseba ne bo dosmrtno zaprta brez možnosti pogojnega odpusta.
3) Nothing in this Convention shall be interpreted either as imposing an obligation to extradite if the person who is the subject of the extradition request risks being exposed to the death penalty or, where the law of the requested Party does not allow for life imprisonment, to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole, unless under applicable extradition treaties the requested Party is under the obligation to extradite if the requesting Party gives such assurance as the requested Party considers sufficient that the death penalty will not be imposed or, where imposed, will not be carried out, or that the person concerned will not be subject to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.
