The extradition, by means of transit on French territory or by the vessels of the French maritime services, of a person not having French nationality, handed over by another government is authorised by the Minister of Justice, on simple request through diplomatic channels, supported by the documents necessary to establish that it is not a political or purely military offence.
This authorisation may only be given to States which grant the same right to the French government on their territory.
Transport is carried out under the supervision of French agents and at the expense of the requesting government.
