That's really not productive reasoning and it seems like a bit of an extremist viewpoint. With your line of reasoning there are no countries where law is applied because in all countries there has been occurrences where law was broken. This is typically not how "rule of law" is interpreted - as an on/off switch for an entire country and for all time.

If we take Agiza as an example, he was illegaly extradited from Sweden. When it was discovered, there was somewhat of an outrage, he was given money for damages (much by Swedish standards) and later granted residency.

So yes, Swedish government f-ked up at that occasion. That obviously does not mean that because of that, Swedish courts will now forever auto-accept any requests from turkey to have people extradited despite no proof of crimes. That's not what rule of law means.

In fact, you can see proof of this today - Swedish courts are mostly rejecting requests from Turkey and the people still wlka free in Sweden.
