II. Specific provisions

E. Enforcement of sentences of imprisonment in Liechtenstein

Article 35
Procedure for acceptance of enforcement of sentence

(1) Should the International Criminal Court or International Tribunal decide that a convicted person shall serve his or her sentence of imprisonment in Liechtenstein and seek transfer of the convicted person for the enforcement of his or her sentence, the sentence of imprisonment is to be served in Liechtenstein once the request has been accepted by the Ministry of Justice.

(2) The Ministry of Justice may only refuse to accept a person as referred to in paragraph 1 above for the enforcement of a sentence of imprisonment if it would give rise to unacceptable consequences for the security and public order of the Principality of Liechtenstein. The decision of the Ministry of Justice is not open to appeal.

(3) The decision by the Ministry of Justice shall be transmitted to the International Criminal Court or International Tribunal with a request to suggest a time and place for the transfer of the sentenced person to the Liechtenstein authorities. The Liechtenstein authorities involved in the transfer of convicted persons shall seek to comply with the wishes of the organs of the International Criminal Court or International Tribunal and of foreign authorities.
