The Federal Court in Germany will not consider a claim that he was brought to Germany outside the extradition process. Dejmanjuk had been deported from the United States. Bloomberg, July 8, 2009.
“The complainant overlooks that under an international law treaty only the state can claim rights, not an individual person,” the court said. “Demjanjuk is only summarily criticizing the U.S. authorities’, whose acts are those of a foreign nation that this court cannot review.”
By circumventing the extradition treaty, Germany denied Demjanjuk a way to demonstrate he had already been tried and acquitted for the alleged crimes in Israel, his lawyer Ulrich Busch said in a telephone interview. Demjanjuk will appeal the ruling to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, France, he said. "
