According to the working group in charge of the bill, Mongolia has signed agreements on mutual legal assistance in criminal matters and the Transfer of Sentenced Persons with 36 countries as of today. Through the convention, Mongolia will be able to bring back Mongolian nationals that are serving criminal sentences in the countries that have joined the convention as well as to return foreign nationals serving sentences in Mongolia.

As of the first quarter of 2020, a total of 10 Mongolian nationals are serving sentences in the U.S, the Republic of Kazakhstan, and the Czech Republic. Furthermore, 17 citizens are currently being investigated in connection with crimes in the U.S. and the Czech Republic.
