Does the calculation change if we entertain the possibility that Trump might win? A win for the BBC could offset damages. Alternatively, UK Gov ordering the BBC not to enforce judgment might be diplomatically valuable.

![There are, of course, other ways of addressing problems when seeking to deport actual and suspected criminals. Take, for example, Brazil, where applicants facing deportation have successfully argued that prison conditions there are inhuman and degrading. You will see buried at the bottom of this otherwise sensationalist news report the following comment by the Brazilian government:
“The Ministry of Justice and Public Security (MJSP) acknowledges the concerns expressed by British authorities regarding the conditions of the Brazilian prison system, especially in the context of extradition requests. […]
“In light of this, the Brazilian government has adopted a series of measures. It has been working directly with British authorities and the Brazilian Judiciary to provide diplomatic assurances regarding the treatment of extradited individuals and to present reports on the conditions of specific prison facilities.
“It has also pledged to reduce overcrowding; improve hygiene, healthcare, and security conditions, promote the social reintegration of prisoners and prevent human rights violations. The Ministry of Justice and Public Security reaffirms its commitment to the promotion of human rights and the ongoing improvement of the Brazilian prison system.”
That is a better way of dealing with the problems of potential inhuman and degrading treatment: you work with the respondent state to make the conditions not inhuman and degrading.
In a similar situation, the United Kingdom, when faced with not being able to deport Abu Qatada to Jordan to face trial where some of the evidence against him was extracted by torture, quietly agreed with Jordan a treaty where such evidence could not be used. And he was deported not in defiance of ECHR but in accordance with it. He was then acquitted of terrorism charges by the Jordanian courts.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nx2kxyxako6sobj4g4pdkl6s/bafkreiffoycfx3vdqm35xt5hvcnvdchaowimopsm6cxl7esldlmnuzazeq@jpeg)
