Transfer of proceedings is a modality of international judicial cooperation, which means that a criminal proceeding being carried out in a state is transferred to another state that is able to administer justice in a better way. This procedure is applied at the request of the transferring state, and if accepted, the transferred state prosecutes the accused person in accordance with its own law. Transfer of proceedings is regulated in the several Council of Europe and United Nations conventions which Turkey is a party, as well as in the bilateral treaties signed with other states. Among these, the leading international convention that regulates the subject matter broadly is the European Convention on the Transfer of Proceedings in Criminal Matters. Besides the other judicial cooperation modalities, transfer of proceedings is also included in the Law no. 6706 on International Judicial Cooperation in Criminal Matters, which entered into force in 2016. In the Law, the main conditions for the transfer of proceedings, the procedure of transfer to a foreign state and the taking over the proceedings are specified. In this study, provisions of the Law no. 6706 on the transfer of proceedings to a foreign state are examined in detail, especially by comparing with the regulations of the European Convention. Furthermore, the points to be considered in practice with regard to the transfer of proceedings are explained. Also, opinions and proposals are expressed on the elimination of certain shortcomings identified in the Law, and on the implementation of this modality of cooperation more effectively.
