Against the backdrop of countries increasingly being confronted with undesirable but unreturnable non-citizen terrorist suspects, this article describes the resettlement process of 150 cleared but unreturnable Guantanamo Bay detainees. Merely 13% of these detainees have been resettled in full democracies, compared to 52% in authoritarian regimes. Using Starkley et al.'s concept of 'zone agreement' the article explains how the U.S. particularly managed to incentivize pragmatically oriented - rather than idealistically motivated - governments to engage in third country resettlement [16]. From the perspective of the U.S. the resettlement scheme can be considered relatively successful, while the experiences of resettlement countries and the resettled detainees themselves have been very mixed.
在各国日益面临不受欢迎但无法遣返的非公民恐怖主义嫌疑人的背景下，本文描述了150名被清除嫌疑但无法遣返的关塔那摩湾被拘留者的重新安置过程。这些被拘留者中只有13%被重新安置到完全民主的国家，相比之下，52%被安置到独裁政权国家。本文运用斯塔克利等人提出的“区域协议”概念，解释了美国如何特别成功地激励注重务实而非出于理想主义动机的政府参与第三国重新安置行动[16]。从美国的角度来看，重新安置计划可被视为相对成功，然而重新安置国以及被重新安置的被拘留者自身的经历却喜忧参半。
