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.

在各国越来越多地面临不受欢迎但无法遣返的非公民恐怖嫌疑人的背景下，本文描述了 150 名已清除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% 被重新安置在完全民主的国家，而在专制政权中这一比例为 52%。使用 Starkley 等人的“区域协议”概念，该文章解释了美国如何特别设法激励务实导向（而不是理想主义动机）的政府参与第三国重新安置[16]。从美国的角度来看，移民安置计划可以说是比较成功的，而移民安置国的经验和被安置的被拘留者本身的经历却很复杂。
