In an unpublished judgment of 17 May 1995 (1P.289/1995), the Federal Court had occasion to develop its case-law on safe-conduct clauses as follows: “2 (a) The safe-conduct clause was inserted into international treaties in order to avoid disguised extradition: a witness required to appear in another country cannot be detained there without heed for the substantive conditions or formalities required for extradition (see, for the background to this clause, Federal Court judgment ATF 104 Ia 452ss., point 5). It will in any event be necessary, under Article 12 of the [European Convention on mutual assistance in criminal matters] and section 73 of the [Federal Law on international mutual assistance in criminal matters], for the authorities of the requesting State to have summoned this witness to appear by serving an order for that purpose. That is not the case here, since the investigating judge did not issue the appellant with an order to appear according to the formalities provided for in Article 17, paragraph 1, of the Geneva Code of Criminal Procedure, taken together with section 31 of the said Law. The appellant cannot therefore, in principle, rely on the immunity attached to an official order when it has not been issued, as in the present case. On this specific point, this case differs from the factual situation underlying the Federal Court judgment ATF 104 Ia 448 cited by the appellant. (b) The appellant relies on Article 170 of the Geneva Code of Criminal Procedure, under which any person summoned before the investigating judge must be served with a letter or order for that purpose (para. 1); exceptionally, a summons may be addressed by any other means that is necessary in order to reach the witness (para. 2).
