ARTICLE 20
TRANSIT
(1)
Either Party may authorise transit through its
area of a person surrendered to the other Party by a
State not party to this Agreement. A request for
transit shall be made through an authority to be
notified from time to time by one Party to the other.
The facilities of the International Criminal Police
Organisation (INTERPOL) may be used to transmit such a
request. It shall contain a description of the person
being transported and a brief statement of the facts of
the case. A person in transit may be kept in custody
during the period of transit.
(2) No authorisation is required where air
transportation is used and no landing is scheduled in
the area of a Party. If an unscheduled landing occurs
in the area of a Party, that Party máy require the other
Party to make a request for transit as provided in
paragraph (1). That Party shall detain the person to be
transported until the request for transit is received
and the transit is effected, so long as the request is
received within 96 hours of the unscheduled landing.
