The Poland-UK extradition treaty, preserved and governed by s105, does not permit refusal of surrender on general humanitarian grounds; therefore the Minister was not obliged to take those humanitarian considerations into account under s30 except where the absolute statutory prohibition on return to torture applied; even if such factors could be considered they did not meet the high threshold required, so the Minister's decision to surrender was lawful.
