Executive Summary: This document outlines an agreement between the Government of India and the Government of the Federal Republic of Somalia regarding the transfer of sentenced persons. It establishes the conditions, procedures, and obligations for the transfer and enforcement of sentences. The agreement was signed on August 1, 2017, ratified by India on September 1, 2017, and by Somalia on October 14, 2017, and the provisions of the Repatriation of Prisoners Act, 2003 shall apply to the Government of the Federal Republic of Somalia. Key Points / Main Content: * **General Principles:** * A person sentenced in one Contracting State may be transferred to the other to serve their sentence, if they are willing. * Transfer requests can be made by the sentenced person (if they are a national of a Contracting State) or someone entitled to act on their behalf. * **Central Authorities:** * The Ministry of Home Affairs is the designated authority for the Republic of India. * The Ministry of Justice is the designated authority for the Federal Republic of Somalia. * Changes to competent authorities must be communicated diplomatically. * **Conditions for Transfer:** * The sentenced person must be a national of the receiving state. * The death penalty cannot have been imposed. * The judgment must be final. * No pending criminal proceedings requiring the person's presence can exist in the transferring state. * The person cannot have been convicted under military law. * At least six months of the sentence must remain, or the person is serving life imprisonment. * The acts must be punishable in the receiving state. * The transfer must not prejudice the transferring state's interests. * Consent is required from the sentenced person (or their representative). * Both states must agree to the transfer. * Exceptional cases may be considered even if less than six months remain. * **Information Exchange:** * The transferring State must provide detailed information, including personal details, facts of the case, sentence details, judgment copies, medical/social reports, and the sentenced person's request. * The receiving State must provide information confirming nationality, relevant laws, sentence enforcement details, willingness to accept the transfer, and any other necessary documents. * **Requests and Consent:** * Transfer requests must be written and sent through diplomatic channels. * The receiving State must promptly inform the transferring State of its decision. * The transferring State must ensure consent is voluntary and informed. * **Enforcement and Review:** * The receiving State continues sentence enforcement under its laws. * The receiving State is bound by the legal nature and duration of the sentence. * The receiving State can adapt the sentence if incompatible with its laws, with the transferring State's consent, but cannot aggravate it. * The transferring State alone decides on judgment review. * Either state can grant pardon, amnesty, or commutation. * **Termination and Information:** * The transferring State notifies the receiving State of any decisions terminating enforcement. * The receiving State terminates enforcement upon notification. * The receiving State notifies the transferring State upon sentence completion or escape. * **Other Provisions:** * Cooperation is expected for transit through territories. * Costs are generally borne by the receiving State. * Requests and documents should be in English or with an English translation. * The agreement applies to sentences imposed before or after its entry into force. * Disputes should be resolved through central authorities and diplomatic channels. * Amendments require mutual agreement. Impact Analysis: * **Sentenced Persons:** * Impact: Opportunity to serve sentences in their country of nationality, potentially aiding social rehabilitation. * Action Required: Express willingness to be transferred and cooperate with the transfer process. * **Governments of India and Somalia:** * Impact: Establishes a framework for international cooperation in the transfer of sentenced persons, defining obligations and procedures. * Action Required: Implement the agreement, designate central authorities, process transfer requests, and ensure compliance with the agreement's provisions. * **Ministries of Home Affairs (India) and Justice (Somalia):** * Impact: Responsible for the implementation of the agreement within their respective countries. * Action Required: Establish procedures for processing transfer requests, communicating with the other country, and ensuring compliance with the agreement.
