Handbook on the International Transfer of Sentenced Persons
The objective of the Handbook is to describe and explain the key elements of the numerous instruments that exist and are designed to facilitate the transfer of sentenced persons. As its point of departure, the Handbook takes the Model Agreement. It also discusses contemporary multilateral and bilateral agreements, and national laws that facilitate and regulate the transfer of sentenced persons. This overview of relevant instruments should assist States that wish to enter into such agreements and adopt such laws in the future. At the same time, the overview should also help States that have already entered into transfer agreements to use them more effectively and more often.
