Renewal of reservation contained in a Note verbale from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Latvia, dated 19 September 2007, registered at the Secretariat General on 2 October 2007 - Or. Engl.
With due regard to well-established principles of international law in the field of extradition, the Republic of Latvia declares that it renews its reservation regarding Article 26, paragraph 1, of the Convention, for the period set out in Article 38, paragraph 1, of the Convention.
The Republic of Latvia considers that the issue of mutual legal assistance, beyond all doubts, constitutes one of the fundamental elements of suppression of all means of crimes, inter alia, corruption. Nevertheless, the Republic of Latvia would like to stress, that in accordance with the principles of its legal order, observation of human rights and rule of law is the core element for providing mutual legal assistance to other States.
If there is sufficient ground to believe that offence to which the compliance for mutual legal assistance regards could be considered as political offence, the national authorities in charge are under an obligation to review the aforementioned compliance in the light of safeguards provided to any person in accordance with human rights.
Furthermore, the Republic of Latvia would like to emphasize that it has made similar reservations to all international instruments in the penal field, if this instrument contains clauses for extradition or mutual legal assistance.
