If I can just add one other point on the death penalty, it's absolutely true that both the Canadian and Dutch agreements do make it clear that the death penalty should not be used. But in addition to the concern we have about this not being a legally binding treaty—thus, what is the weight of that guarantee?—we also have the secondary issue of the possibility of transfers to other countries. In the agreement between Canada and Afghanistan, it becomes a little unclear as to whether the death penalty won't be used. Would it in turn apply if the individual is transferred to another country that readily does make use of the death penalty? The United States would be one example, but certainly not the only one.
