The Military Manual (1993) of the Netherlands states: “In general, States … must cooperate as much as possible with respect to the extradition of war criminals.” 

Under the Act on the Surrender of Persons Suspected of War Crimes (1954), as amended in 2003, of the Netherlands, individuals can be surrendered to another power for trial if they are suspected of having committed one of the crimes defined in Article 3 (genocide) and Articles 5 to 8 (war crimes committed in an international or a non-international armed conflict, and torture) and, in so far as it is connected with the offences referred to in those articles, Article 9 of the International Crimes Act.
