About this statute

This preamble says Colombia and Spain agreed to a treaty on the transfer of convicted persons between the two states. This article defines key terms used in the treaty: transferring state, receiving state, and sentenced person. This article says the treaty states must cooperate as fully as possible on transfers of convicted persons, and it allows sentences imposed in one state on nationals of the other to be executed in the latter state’s prisons. Las Partes designan autoridades centrales, la persona sentenciada sigue cumpliendo la pena en el Estado receptor, y ciertas medidas como amnistía, indulto, conmutación y revisión quedan atribuidas al Estado trasladante en los términos del artículo. This article says the treaty applies only if several conditions are met, including the sentenced person’s nationality, consent for transfer in some cases, a non-political offence, a final conviction, no pending cases in the transferring state, and that the conduct is also a crime under the receiving state’s rules.
