¹ No per­son may be forced in any way to re­turn to a coun­try where their life, phys­ic­al in­teg­rity or free­dom are threatened on any of the grounds stated in Art­icle 3 para­graph 1 or where they would be at risk of be­ing forced to re­turn to such a coun­try.

² The ban on re­foule­ment may not be in­voked if there are sub­stan­tial grounds for the as­sump­tion that, be­cause the per­son in­vok­ing it has a leg­ally bind­ing con­vic­tion for a par­tic­u­larly ser­i­ous felony or mis­de­mean­our, they rep­res­ent a threat to Switzer­land’s se­cur­ity or are to be con­sidered dan­ger­ous to the pub­lic.
