Where a country applies to another for the extradition of a prisoner, and gives unequivocal guarantees that the prisoner will receive a fair trial, the good faith of the requesting state must be presumed. The prisoner having been convicted in his absence, the Swiss government undertook that if he applied within the 20 day time limit upon his return his conviction would be set aside, and he would be given a fair trial.
