Following an enquiry, Swiss Senator Dick Marty says; "US rendition flights are based on an "utterly alien" approach that breaches human rights".
Media allegations on CIA jails broke last November, when the Washington Post said the intelligence agency had been running facilities in Eastern Europe, Afghanistan and Thailand.
It said more than 100 people had been sent to facilities known as "black sites" set up following 911.
European media reports allege the CIA used several European airports for its programme of "extraordinary renditions".
Under the secretive process, US intelligence agencies send terror suspects for interrogation by security officials in other countries, where they have no legal protection or rights under American law.
Washington does not deny terror suspects have been transferred for interrogation in other countries, but rejects accusations they are being tortured.
