State Acts 1939 to 1998 and section 3 of the Criminal Law Act 1976 apply with any necessary modifications and have effect in relation to a terrorist group referred to in subsection (1) as if that group were an organisation referred to in section 18 of the Act of 1939.<\/p>\n<p>(3) Subsections (1) and (2) are not to be taken to be limited by any other provision of this Act that refers to provisions of the Offences against the State Acts 1939 to 1998 or that makes provisions of those Acts applicable in relation to offences under this Act.<\/p>\n<p>(4) Subsections (1) and (2) apply whether the terrorist group is based in or outside the State.<\/p>\n<h4>Terrorist offences.<\/h4>\n<p>6.\u2014(1) Subject to subsections (2) to (4), a person is guilty of an offence if the person\u2014<\/p>\n<p>(a) in or outside the State\u2014<\/p>\n<p>(i) engages in a terrorist activity or a terrorist-linked activity,<\/p>\n<p>(ii) attempts to engage in a terrorist activity or a

Act of 1998.<\/p>\n<p>(2) Subsection (1) applies to an act committed outside the State if the act\u2014<\/p>\n<p>(a) is committed on board an Irish ship,<\/p>\n<p>(b) is committed on an aircraft registered in the State,<\/p>\n<p>(c) is committed by a person who is a citizen of Ireland or is resident in the State,<\/p>\n<p>(d) is committed for the benefit of a legal person established in the State,<\/p>\n<p>(e) is directed against the State or an Irish citizen, or<\/p>\n<p>(f) is directed against\u2014<\/p>\n<p>(i) an institution of the European Union that is based in the State, or<\/p>\n<p>(ii) a body that is based in the State and is set up in accordance with the Treaty establishing the European Community or the Treaty on European Union.<\/p>\n<p>(3) Subsection (1) applies also to an act committed outside the State in circumstances other than those referred to in subsection (2), but in that case the Director of Public Prosecutions may not take, or consent to the taking of, proceedings referred to in section 43(2) for an offence in respect of that act except as authorised by section 43(3).<\/p>\n<p>(4) Subsection (1) does not apply in respect of\u2014<\/p>\n<p>(a) the activities of armed forces during an armed conflict insofar as those activities are governed by international humanitarian law, or<\/p>\n<p>(b) the activities of the armed forces of a state in the exercise of their official duties insofar as those activities are governed by other rules of international law.<\/p>\n<p>(5) To avoid doubt, the fact that a person engages in any protest, advocacy or dissent, or engages in any strike, lockout or other industrial action, is not of itself a sufficient basis for inferring that the person is carrying out an act with the intention specified in paragraph (b) of the definition of \u201cterrorist activity\u201d in section 4.<\/p>\n<p>(6) Where a person is charged with an offence under subsection (1), which in the opinion of the Attorney General was committed in or outside the State with the intention of\u2014<\/p>\n<p>(a) unduly compelling the government of a state (other than a member state of the European Union) to perform or abstain from performing an act, or<\/p>\n<p>(b) seriously destabilising or destroying the fundamental political, constitutional, economic or social structures of such a state,<\/p>\n<p>then, notwithstanding anything in this Act, no further proceedings in the matter (other than any remand in custody or on bail) may be taken except with the consent of the Attorney General.<\/p>\n<p>(7) Where in proceedings for the offence of engaging in or attempting to engage in a terrorist activity\u2014<\/p>\n<p>(a) it is proved that the accused person committed or attempted to commit an

(i),<\/p>\n<p>and<\/p>\n<p>(b) the court is satisfied, having regard to all the circumstances including those specified in subsection (8), that it is reasonable to assume that the act was committed, or the attempt was made, with the intention of\u2014<\/p>\n<p>(i) seriously intimidating a population,<\/p>\n<p>(ii) unduly compelling a government or an international organisation to perform or abstain from performing an act, or<\/p>\n<p>(iii) seriously destabilising or destroying the fundamental political, constitutional, economic or social structures of a state or an international organisation,<\/p>\n<p>the accused person shall be presumed, unless the court is satisfied to the contrary, to have committed or attempted to commit the act with that intention.<\/p>\n<p>(8) The circumstances referred to in subsection (7), include\u2014<\/p>\n<p>(a) whether the act or attempt referred to in subsection (7)(a)\u2014<\/p>\n<p>(i) created or was likely to create a collective danger to the lives or physical integrity of persons,<\/p>\n<p>(ii) caused or was likely to cause serious damage to a state or international organisation, or<\/p>\n<p>(iii) caused or was likely to result in major economic loss,<\/p>\n<p>and<\/p>\n<p>(b) any other matters that the court considers relevant.<\/p>\n<p>(9) Where the Director of Public Prosecutions considers that another Member State of the European Communities has jurisdiction to try a person for any act constituting an offence under this section, the Director\u2014<\/p>\n<p>(a) shall co-operate with the appropriate authority in that other Member State, and<\/p>\n<p>(b) may have recourse to any body or mechanism established within the European Communities in order to facilitate co-operation between judicial

or the confiscation order, as the case may be.<\/p>\n<h4>Disposal order.<\/h4>\n<p>16.\u2014(1) Subject to subsection (2), where an interlocutory order has been in force for not less than 7 years in relation to funds, the High Court may, on application by a member of the Garda S\u00edoch\u00e1na, make an order directing that all or, if appropriate, a specified part of the funds be transferred, subject to such terms and conditions as the Court may specify, to the Minister for Finance or such other person as the Court may determine.<\/p>\n<p>(2) Subject to subsections (6) and (8), the Court shall make a disposal order in relation to any funds that are the subject of an application under subsection (1) unless it is satisfied that the funds are not funds that had been used or were intended for use in committing or facilitating the commission of an offence under section 6 or 13.<\/p>\n<p>(3) The applicant shall give notice of an application under this section to\u2014<\/p>\n<p>(a) the respondent unless the Court is satisfied that it is not reasonably possible to ascertain the respondent&#8217;s whereabouts, and<\/p>\n<p>(b) such other (if any) persons as the Court may direct.<\/p>\n<p>(4) A disposal order operates to deprive the respondent of any rights to the funds to which the order relates and on the making of the order the funds are transferred to the Minister for Finance or other person determined by the Court.<\/p>\n<p>(5) The Minister for Finance may dispose of any funds transferred to him or her under this section and any proceeds of the disposition and any money transferred to that Minister under this section shall be paid into and disposed of by him or her for the benefit of the Exchequer.<\/p>\n<p>(6) In proceedings under subsection (1), before deciding whether to make a disposal order, the Court shall give any person claiming ownership of the funds an opportunity to be heard by the Court and to show cause why the order should not be made.<\/p>\n<p>(7) On application by the respondent or, if the respondent&#8217;s whereabouts cannot be ascertained, on the Court&#8217;s own initiative, the Court may, if it considers it appropriate to do so in the interests of justice, adjourn the hearing of an application under subsection (1) for such period not exceeding 2 years as it considers reasonable.<\/p>\n<p>(8) The Court shall not make a disposal order if it is satisfied that there would be a serious risk of injustice.<\/p>\n<p>Annotations<\/p>\n<p>Modifications (not altering text):<\/p>\n<p>C2<br \/>\nFunctions transferred and

8:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<\/p>\n<h4>Confiscation orders relating to offence of financing terrorism.<\/h4>\n<p>8A.\u2014(1) Where a person has been sentenced or otherwise dealt with by a court in respect of one or more offences of financing terrorism of which that person has been convicted, the Director of Public Prosecutions may make, or cause to be made, an application to the court to determine whether the convicted person holds funds subject to confiscation.<\/p>\n<p>(2) For the purposes of this Act, funds subject to confiscation are\u2014<\/p>\n<p>(a) funds used or allocated for use in connection with an offence of financing terrorism, or<\/p>\n<p>(b) funds that are the proceeds of such an offence.<\/p>\n<p>(3) An application under subsection (1) of this section may be made at the conclusion of the proceedings at which the person is sentenced or otherwise dealt with or at a later stage in the proceedings.<\/p>\n<p>(4) An application under subsection (1) of this section shall not be made unless it appears to the Director of Public Prosecutions that the person in question holds funds subject to confiscation.<\/p>\n<p>(5) If the court determines that the person in question holds funds subject to confiscation, the court shall\u2014<\/p>\n<p>(a) determine in accordance with section 8C of this Act the amount to be recovered in that person&#8217;s case by virtue of this section, and<\/p>\n<p>(b) make a confiscation order under this section requiring the person to pay that amount.<\/p>\n<p>(6) The standard of proof applicable in civil proceedings is the standard required to determine a question arising under this Act as to\u2014<\/p>\n<p>(a) whether a person holds funds subject to confiscation, and<\/p>\n<p>(b) the amount to be recovered in that person&#8217;s case by virtue of this section.<\/p>\n<h4>Assessing the value of funds subject to confiscation.<\/h4>\n<p>8B.\u2014(1) For the purposes of this Act, the value of the funds that are subject to confiscation is the aggregate of the values of those funds held by the defendant.<\/p>\n<p>(2) For the purpose of assessing the value of funds subject to confiscation, the court shall, subject to subsection (3) of this section, make the following assumptions:<\/p>\n<p>(a) that any funds appearing to the court\u2014<\/p>\n<p>(i) to have been held by the defendant at any time since the conviction, or<\/p>\n<p>(ii) to have been transferred to the defendant at any time since the beginning of the period of six years ending when the proceedings were instituted against the defendant,<\/p>\n<p>were received or collected by the defendant, at the earliest time at which the defendant appears to the court to have held them, for use (whether or not used) in connection with the offence of financing terrorism or as the proceeds of such offence;<\/p>\n<p>(b) that any expenditure of the defendant since the beginning of that period was met out of funds subject to confiscation;<\/p>\n<p>(c) that the funds subject to confiscation are held by the defendant free of any other interests in them.<\/p>\n<p>(3) The court shall not make an assumption set out in subsection (2) of this section if\u2014<\/p>\n<p>(a) that assumption is shown to be incorrect in the case of the defendant, or<\/p>\n<p>(b) the court is satisfied that there would be a serious risk of injustice in that case were the assumption made.<\/p>\n<p>(4) Where the court does not apply one or more of the assumptions set out in subsection (2) of this section, it shall state its reasons.<\/p>\n<p>(5) For the purpose of assessing the value of funds subject to confiscation in a case where a confiscation order has previously been made against the defendant, the court shall not take into account any of that defendant&#8217;s funds subject to confiscation that are shown to the court to have been taken into account in determining the amount to be recovered under the confiscation order.<\/p>\n<h4>Amount to be recovered under a confiscation order made under section 8A.<\/h4>\n<p>8C.\u2014(1) Subject to subsection (2) of this section, where a confiscation order has been made under section 8A of this Act, the amount to be recovered under the order shall be equal to the amount assessed by the court to be the value of the defendant&#8217;s funds subject to confiscation.<\/p>\n<p>(2) If the court is satisfied that the amount that might be realised at the time the confiscation order is made is less than the amount the court assesses to be the value of the funds subject to confiscation, the amount to be recovered in the defendant&#8217;s case under the confiscation order shall be the amount appearing to the court to be the amount that might be so realised.<\/p>\n<h4>Re-assessment of whether defendant holds funds subject to confiscation.<\/h4>\n<p>8D.\u2014(1) This section applies where an application has previously been made to the court under section 8A of this Act and the court has determined that the defendant did not hold funds subject to confiscation.<\/p>\n<p>(2) The Director of Public Prosecutions may make, or cause to be made, an application to the court for it to consider evidence\u2014<\/p>\n<p>(a) which was not considered by the court in making the determination referred to in subsection (1) of this section, and<\/p>\n<p>(b) which, had it been considered, the Director of Public Prosecutions believes would have led the court to determine that the defendant held funds subject to confiscation.<\/p>\n<p>(3) If, having considered the evidence, the court is satisfied that, had that evidence been available to it, it would have determined that the defendant held funds subject to confiscation, the court\u2014<\/p>\n<p>(a) shall\u2014<\/p>\n<p>(i) make a fresh determination of whether the defendant holds funds subject to confiscation, and<\/p>\n<p>(ii) make a determination under section 8A(5) of this Act of the amount to be recovered by virtue of that section,<\/p>\n<p>and<\/p>\n<p>(b) may make a confiscation order under section 8A(5) of this Act.<\/p>\n<p>(4) In considering an application under this section, the court may take into account any funds held by the defendant on or after the date of the determination referred to in subsection (1) of this section, but only if the Director of Public Prosecutions shows that the funds relate to an offence of financing terrorism committed on or before that date by the defendant or another person.<\/p>\n<p>(5) In considering any evidence under this section relating to any funds to which subsection (4) applies, the court shall not make the assumptions which would otherwise be required under section 8B of this Act.<\/p>\n<p>(6) No application shall be entertained by the court under this section if it is made after the end of the period of six years beginning with the date on which the defendant was convicted.<\/p>\n<h4>Revised assessment of funds subject to confiscation.<\/h4>\n<p>8E.\u2014(1) This section applies where a court has made a determination (referred to in this section as \u2018the current determination\u2019) under section 8A(5) of this Act of the amount to be recovered in a particular case by virtue of that section.<\/p>\n<p>(2) Where the Director of Public Prosecutions is of the opinion that the real value of the defendant&#8217;s funds subject to confiscation was greater than their assessed value, the Director of Public Prosecutions may make, or cause to be made, an application to the court for the evidence on which that opinion was formed to be considered by the court.<\/p>\n<p>(3) In subsections (2) and (4) of this section\u2014<\/p>\n<p>\u2018assessed value\u2019 means the value of the defendant&#8217;s funds subject to confiscation as assessed by the court under section 8C(1) of this Act;<\/p>\n<p>\u2018real value\u2019 means the value of the defendant&#8217;s funds subject to confiscation which relate to an offence of financing terrorism committed either in the period by reference to which the current determination was made or in any earlier period.<\/p>\n<p>(4) If, having considered the evidence, the court is satisfied that the real value of the defendant&#8217;s funds subject to confiscation is greater than their assessed value (whether because their real value was higher at the time of the current determination than was thought or because the value of the funds subject to confiscation has subsequently increased), the court shall make a fresh determination under section 8A(5) of this Act of the amount to be recovered by virtue of that section.<\/p>\n<p>(5) Any determination under section 8A(5) of this Act by virtue of this section shall be by reference to the amount that might be realised at the time the determination is made.<\/p>\n<p>(6) For any determination under section 8A(5) of this Act by virtue of this section, section 8B(5) of this Act shall not apply in relation to any of the defendant&#8217;s funds subject to confiscation that were taken into account in respect of the current determination.<\/p>\n<p>(7) In relation to a determination under section 8A(5) of this Act by virtue of this section\u2014<\/p>\n<p>(a) section 3(2) of this Act shall have effect as if for \u2018a confiscation order is made against the defendant\u2019 there were substituted \u2018of the determination\u2019,<\/p>\n<p>(b) sections 3(8), 10(5)(a) and 12(4) of this Act shall have effect as if for \u2018confiscation order\u2019 there were substituted \u2018determination\u2019, and<\/p>\n<p>(c) section 8C(2) of this Act shall have effect as if for \u2018confiscation order is made\u2019 there were substituted \u2018determination is made\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>(8) The court may take into account any funds held by the defendant on or after the date of the current determination, but only if the Director of Public Prosecutions shows that the funds relate to an offence of financing terrorism committed before that date by the defendant or another person.<\/p>\n<p>(9) In considering any evidence relating to any funds to which subsection (8) applies, the court shall not make the assumptions which would otherwise be required by section 8B of this Act.<\/p>\n<p>(10) If, as a result of making the fresh determination required by subsection (4) of this section, the amount to be recovered exceeds the amount set by the current determination, the court may substitute for the amount to be recovered under the confiscation order which was made by reference to the current determination such greater amount as it thinks just in all the circumstances of the case.<\/p>\n<p>(11) No application shall be entertained by the court under this section if it is made after the end of the period of six years beginning with the date on which the defendant was convicted.\u201d.<\/p>\n<h4>Amendment of section 9 of Act of 1994.<\/h4>\n<p>23.\u2014Section 9 of the Act of 1994 is amended as follows:<\/p>\n<p>(a) in subsection (1) by substituting \u201c, other than a drug trafficking offence or an offence of financing terrorism,\u201d for \u201c, other than a drug trafficking offence,\u201d,<\/p>\n<p>(b) in subsection (2) by substituting \u201c(not being a drug trafficking offence or an offence of financing terrorism)\u201d for \u201c(not being a drug trafficking offence)\u201d, and<\/p>\n<p>(c) in subsection (4) by substituting \u201c, other than a drug trafficking offence or an offence of financing terrorism,\u201d for \u201cother than a drug trafficking offence\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Amendment of section 10 of Act of 1994.<\/p>\n<p>24.\u2014Section 10 of the Act of 1994 is amended as follows:<\/p>\n<p>(a) by substituting the following for subsection (1) (amended by section 27 of the Criminal Justice Act 1999):<\/p>\n<p>\u201c(1) Where a defendant accepts to any extent an allegation in a statement that\u2014<\/p>\n<p>(a) is tendered by or on behalf of the Director of Public Prosecutions to a court that is engaged in a determination under section 4 of this Act as to whether a person has benefited from drug trafficking or as to any amount to be recovered by virtue of that section or to a court that is considering an application under section 7, 8, 8A, 8D, 8E or 9 of this Act, and<\/p>\n<p>(b) concerns any matter relevant\u2014<\/p>\n<p>(i) to the determination of whether the defendant\u2014<\/p>\n<p>(I) in the case of a conviction for a drug trafficking offence, has benefited from drug trafficking,<\/p>\n<p>(II) in the case of a conviction for an offence of financing terrorism, holds funds subject to confiscation, or<\/p>\n<p>(III) in the case of a conviction for an offence other than a drug trafficking offence or an offence of financing terrorism, has benefited as mentioned in section 9(4) of this Act,<\/p>\n<p>or<\/p>\n<p>(ii) to the assessment of the value of the defendant&#8217;s proceeds of drug trafficking, the value of the funds subject to confiscation or the value of the defendant&#8217;s benefits as mentioned in section 9(4) of this Act, as the case may be,<\/p>\n<p>the court may, for the purposes of that determination or assessment, treat the defendant&#8217;s acceptance as conclusive of the matters to which it relates.\u201d;<\/p>\n<p>(b) by substituting the following for subsection (4):<\/p>\n<p>\u201c(4) A defendant who fails in any respect to comply with a requirement under subsection (3) of this section may be treated for the purposes of this section as accepting every

interests of justice to transfer a trial, the Special Criminal Court may consider any factors it thinks relevant, including\u2014<\/p>\n<p>(a) whether the transfer would be in the interests of the expeditious administration of justice, and<\/p>\n<p>(b) whether the transfer would prejudice the triable person or persons or the prosecution.<\/p>\n<p>(4) A trial may be transferred under this section notwithstanding that an order has been made under subsection (1)(e) in relation to the triable person or persons.<\/p>\n<p>(5) Where 2 or more triable persons are to be tried jointly, the

It is based on the principle of democracy and the principle of the rule of law, principles which are common to the Member States.<\/p>\n<p>(2) Terrorism constitutes one of the most serious violations of those principles. The La Gomera Declaration adopted at the informal Council meeting on 14 October 1995 affirmed that terrorism constitutes a threat to democracy, to the free exercise of human rights and to economic and social development.<\/p>\n<p>(3) All or some Member States are party to a number of conventions relating to terrorism. The Council of Europe Convention of 27 January 1977 on the Suppression of Terrorism does not regard terrorist offences as political offences or as offences connected with political offences or as offences inspired by political motives. The United Nations has adopted the Convention for the suppression of terrorist bombings of 15 December 1997 and the Convention for the suppression of financing terrorism of 9 December 1999. A draft global Convention against terrorism is currently being negotiated within the United Nations.<\/p>\n<p>(4) At European Union level, on 3 December 1998 the Council adopted the Action Plan of the Council and the Commission on how best to implement the provisions of the Treaty of Amsterdam on an area of freedom, security and justice3. Account should also be taken of the Council Conclusions of 20 September 2001 and of the Extra-ordinary European Council plan of action to combat terrorism of 21 September 2001. Terrorism was referred to in the conclusions of the Tampere European Council of 15 and 16 October 1999, and of the Santa Mar\u00eda da Feira European Council of 19 and 20 June 2000. It was also mentioned in the Commission communication to the Council and the European Parliament on the biannual update of the score-board to review progress on the creation of an area of \u2018freedom, security and justice\u2019 in the European Union (second half of 2000). Furthermore, on 5 September 2001 the European Parliament adopted a recommendation on the role of the European Union in combating terrorism. It should, moreover, be recalled that on 30 July 1996 twenty-five measures to fight against terrorism were advocated by the leading industrialised countries (G7) and Russia meeting in Paris.<\/p>\n<p>(5) The European Union has adopted numerous specific measures having an impact on terrorism and organised crime, such as the Council Decision of 3 December 1998 instructing Europol to deal with crimes committed or likely to be committed in the course of terrorist activities against life, limb, personal freedom or property4; Council Joint Action 96\/610\/JHA of 15 October 1996 concerning the creation and maintenance of a Directory of specialised counter-terrorist competences, skills and expertise to facilitate counter-terrorism cooperation between the Member States of the European Union5; Council Joint Action 98\/428\/JHA of 29 June 1998 on the creation of a European Judicial Network6, with responsibilities in terrorist offences, in particular Article 2; Council Joint Action 98\/733\/JHA of 21 December 1998 on making it a criminal offence to participate in a criminal organisation in the Member States of the European Union7; and the Council Recommendation of 9 December 1999 on cooperation in combating the financing of terrorist groups8.<\/p>\n<p>(6) The definition of terrorist offences should be approximated in all Member States, including those offences relating to terrorist groups. Furthermore, penalties and sanctions should be provided for natural and legal persons having committed or being liable for such offences, which reflect the seriousness of such offences.<\/p>\n<p>(7) Jurisdictional rules should be established to ensure that the terrorist offence may be effectively prosecuted.<\/p>\n<p>(8) Victims of terrorist offences are vulnerable, and therefore specific measures are necessary with regard to them.<\/p>\n<p>(9) Given that the objectives of the proposed action cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States unilaterally, and can therefore, because of the need for reciprocity, be better achieved at the level of the Union, the Union may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, this Framework Decision does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those objectives.<\/p>\n<p>(10) This Framework Decision respects fundamental rights as guaranteed by the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and as they emerge from the constitutional traditions common to the Member States as principles of Community law. The Union observes the principles recognised by Article 6(2) of the Treaty on European Union and reflected in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, notably Chapter VI thereof. Nothing in this Framework Decision may be interpreted as being intended to reduce or restrict fundamental rights or freedoms such as the right to strike, freedom of assembly, of association or of expression, including the right of everyone to form and to join trade unions with others for the protection of his or her interests and the related right to demonstrate.<\/p>\n<p>(11) Actions by armed forces during periods of armed conflict, which are governed by international humanitarian law within the meaning of these terms under that law, and, inasmuch as they are governed by other rules of international law, actions by the armed forces of a State in the exercise of their official duties are not governed by this Framework Decision,<\/p>\n<p>HAS ADOPTED THIS FRAMEWORK DECISION:<\/p>\n<p>Article 1<\/p>\n<h4>Terrorist offences and fundamental rights and principles<\/h4>\n<p>1. Each Member State shall take the necessary measures to ensure that the intentional acts referred to below in points (a) to (i), as defined as offences under national law, which, given their nature or context, may seriously damage a country or an international organisation where committed with the aim of:<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 seriously intimidating a population, or<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 unduly compelling a Government or international organisation to perform or abstain from performing any act, or<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 seriously destabilising or destroying the fundamental political, constitutional, economic or social structures of a country or an international organisation,<\/p>\n<p>shall be deemed to be terrorist offences:<\/p>\n<p>(a) attacks upon a person&#8217;s life which may cause death;<\/p>\n<p>(b) attacks upon the physical integrity of a person;<\/p>\n<p>(c) kidnapping or hostage taking;<\/p>\n<p>(d) causing extensive destruction to a Government or public facility, a transport system, an infrastructure facility, including an information system, a fixed platform located on the continental shelf, a public place or private property likely to endanger human life or result in major economic loss;<\/p>\n<p>(e) seizure of aircraft, ships or other means of public or goods transport;<\/p>\n<p>(f) manufacture, possession, acquisition, transport, supply or use of weapons, explosives or of nuclear, biological or chemical weapons, as well as research into, and development of, biological and chemical weapons;<\/p>\n<p>(g) release of dangerous substances, or causing fires, floods or explosions the effect of which is to endanger human life;<\/p>\n<p>(h) interfering with or disrupting the supply of water, power or any other fundamental natural resource the effect of which is to endanger human life;<\/p>\n<p>(i) threatening to commit any of the acts listed in (a) to (h).<\/p>\n<p>2. This Framework Decision shall not have the effect of altering the obligation to respect fundamental rights and fundamental legal principles as enshrined in Article 6 of the Treaty on European Union.<\/p>\n<p>Article 2<\/p>\n<h4>Offences relating to a terrorist group<\/h4>\n<p>1. For the purposes of this Framework Decision, \u2018terrorist group\u2019 shall mean: a structured group of more than two persons, established over a period of time and acting in concert to commit terrorist offences. \u2018Structured group\u2019 shall mean a group that is not randomly formed for the immediate commission of an offence and that does not need to have formally defined roles for its members, continuity of its membership or a developed structure.<\/p>\n<p>2. Each Member State shall take the necessary measures to ensure that the following intentional acts are punishable:<\/p>\n<p>(a) directing a terrorist group;<\/p>\n<p>(b) participating in the activities of a terrorist group, including by supplying information or material resources, or by funding its activities in any way, with knowledge of the fact that such participation will contribute to the criminal activities of the terrorist group.<\/p>\n<p>Article 3<\/p>\n<h4>Offences linked to terrorist activities<\/h4>\n<p>Each Member State shall take the necessary measures to ensure that terrorist-linked offences include the following acts:<\/p>\n<p>(a) aggravated theft with a view to committing one of the acts listed in Article 1(1);<\/p>\n<p>(b) extortion with a view to the perpetration of one of the acts listed in Article 1(1);<\/p>\n<p>(c) drawing up false administrative documents with a view to committing one of the acts listed in Article 1(1)(a) to (h) and Article 2(2)(b).<\/p>\n<p>Article 4<\/p>\n<h4>Inciting, aiding or abetting, and attempting<\/h4>\n<p>1. Each Member State shall take the necessary measures to ensure that inciting or aiding or abetting an offence referred to in Article 1(1), Articles 2 or 3 is made punishable.<\/p>\n<p>2. Each Member State shall take the necessary measures to ensure that attempting to commit an offence referred to in Article 1(1) and Article 3, with the exception of possession as provided for in Article 1(1)(f) and the offence referred to in Article 1(1)(i), is made punishable.<\/p>\n<p>Article 5<\/p>\n<h4>Penalties<\/h4>\n<p>1. Each Member State shall take the necessary measures to ensure that the offences referred to in Articles 1 to 4 are punishable by effective, proportionate and dissuasive criminal penalties, which may entail extradition.<\/p>\n<p>2. Each Member State shall take the necessary measures to ensure that the terrorist offences referred to in Article 1(1) and offences referred to in Article 4, inasmuch as they relate to terrorist offences, are punishable by custodial sentences heavier than those imposable under national law for such offences in the absence of the special intent required pursuant to Article 1(1), save where the sentences imposable are already the maximum possible sentences under national law.<\/p>\n<p>3. Each Member State shall take the necessary measures to ensure that offences listed in Article 2 are punishable by custodial sentences, with a maximum sentence of not less than fifteen years for the offence referred to in Article 2(2)(a), and for the offences listed in Article 2(2)(b) a maximum sentence of not less than eight years. In so far as the offence referred to in Article 2(2)(a) refers only to the act in Article 1(1)(i), the maximum sentence shall not be less than eight years.<\/p>\n<p>Article 6<\/p>\n<h4>Particular circumstances<\/h4>\n<p>Each Member State may take the necessary measures to ensure that the penalties referred to in Article 5 may be reduced if the offender:<\/p>\n<p>(a) renounces terrorist activity, and<\/p>\n<p>(b) provides the administrative or judicial authorities with information which they would not otherwise have been able to obtain, helping them to:<\/p>\n<p>(i) prevent or mitigate the effects of the offence;<\/p>\n<p>(ii) identify or bring to justice the other offenders;<\/p>\n<p>(iii) find evidence; or<\/p>\n<p>(iv) prevent further offences referred to in Articles 1 to 4.<\/p>\n<p>Article 7<\/p>\n<h4>Liability of legal persons<\/h4>\n<p>1. Each Member State shall take the necessary measures to ensure that legal persons can be held liable for any of the offences referred to in Articles 1 to 4 committed for their benefit by any person, acting either individually or as part of an organ of the legal person, who has a leading position within the legal person, based on one of the following:<\/p>\n<p>(a) a power of representation of the legal person;<\/p>\n<p>(b) an authority to take decisions on behalf of the legal person;<\/p>\n<p>(c) an authority to exercise control within the legal person.<\/p>\n<p>2. Apart from the cases provided for in paragraph 1, each Member State shall take the necessary measures to ensure that legal persons can be held liable where the lack of supervision or control by a person referred to in paragraph 1 has made possible the commission of any of the offences referred to in Articles 1 to 4 for the benefit of that legal person by a person under its authority.<\/p>\n<p>3. Liability of legal persons under paragraphs 1 and 2 shall not exclude criminal proceedings against natural persons who are perpetrators, instigators or accessories in any of the offences referred to in Articles 1 to 4.<\/p>\n<p>Article 8<\/p>\n<p>Penalties for legal persons<\/p>\n<p>Each Member State shall take the necessary measures to ensure that a legal person held liable pursuant to Article 7 is punishable by effective, proportionate and dissuasive penalties, which shall include criminal or non-criminal fines and may include other penalties, such as:<\/p>\n<p>(a) exclusion from entitlement to public benefits or aid;<\/p>\n<p>(b) temporary or permanent disqualification from the practice of commercial activities;<\/p>\n<p>(c) placing under judicial supervision;<\/p>\n<p>(d) a judicial winding-up order;<\/p>\n<p>(e) temporary or permanent closure of establishments which have been used for committing the offence.<\/p>\n<p>Article 9<\/p>\n<h4>Jurisdiction and prosecution<\/h4>\n<p>1. Each Member State shall take the necessary measures to establish its jurisdiction over the offences referred to in Articles 1 to 4 where:<\/p>\n<p>(a) the offence is committed in whole or in part in its territory. Each Member State may extend its jurisdiction if the offence is committed in the territory of a Member State;<\/p>\n<p>(b) the offence is committed on board a vessel flying its flag or an aircraft registered there;<\/p>\n<p>(c) the offender is one of its nationals or residents;<\/p>\n<p>(d) the offence is committed for the benefit of a legal person established in its territory;<\/p>\n<p>(e) the offence is committed against the institutions or people of the Member State in question or against an institution of the European Union or a body set up in accordance with the Treaty establishing the European Community or the Treaty on European Union and based in that Member State.<\/p>\n<p>2. When an offence falls within the jurisdiction of more than one Member State and when any of the States concerned can validly prosecute on the basis of the same facts, the Member States concerned shall cooperate in order to decide which of them will prosecute the offenders with the aim, if possible, of centralising proceedings in a single Member State. To this end, the Member States may have recourse to any body or mechanism established within the European Union in order to facilitate cooperation between their judicial authorities and the coordination of their action. Sequential account shall be taken of the following factors:<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 the Member State shall be that in the territory of which the acts were committed,<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 the Member State shall be that of which the perpetrator is a national or resident,<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 the Member State shall be the Member State of origin of the victims,<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 the Member State shall be that in the territory of which the perpetrator was found.<\/p>\n<p>3. Each Member State shall take the necessary measures also to establish its jurisdiction over the offences referred to in Articles 1 to 4 in cases where it refuses to hand over or extradite a person suspected or convicted of such an offence to another Member State or to a third country.<\/p>\n<p>4. Each Member State shall ensure that its jurisdiction covers cases in which any of the offences referred to in Articles 2 and 4 has been committed in whole or in part within its territory, wherever the terrorist group is based or pursues its criminal activities.<\/p>\n<p>5. This Article shall not exclude the exercise of jurisdiction in criminal matters as laid down by a Member State in accordance with its national legislation.<\/p>\n<p>Article 10<\/p>\n<h4>Protection of, and assistance to, victims<\/h4>\n<p>1. Member States shall ensure that investigations into, or prosecution of, offences covered by this Framework Decision are not dependent on a report or accusation made by a person subjected to the offence, at least if the acts were committed on the territory of the Member State.<\/p>\n<p>2. In addition to the measures laid down in the Council Framework Decision 2001\/220\/JHA of 15 March 2001 on the standing of victims in criminal proceedings1, each Member State shall, if necessary, take all measures possible to ensure appropriate assistance for victims&#8217;\u2019families.<\/p>\n<p>Article 11<\/p>\n<h4>Implementation and reports<\/h4>\n<p>1. Member States shall take the necessary measures to comply with this Framework Decision by 31 December 2002.<\/p>\n<p>2. By 31 December 2002, Member States shall forward to the General Secretariat of the Council and to the Commission the text of the provisions transposing into their national law the obligations imposed on them under this Framework Decision. On the basis of a report drawn up from that information and a report from the Commission, the Council shall assess, by 31 December 2003, whether Member States have taken the necessary measures to comply with this Framework Decision.<\/p>\n<p>3. The Commission report shall specify, in particular, transposition into the criminal law of the Member States of the obligation referred to in Article 5(2).<\/p>\n<p>Article 12<\/p>\n<h4>Territorial application<\/h4>\n<p>This Framework Decision shall apply to Gibraltar.<\/p>\n<p>Article 13<\/p>\n<p>Entry into force<\/p>\n<p>This Framework Decision shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal.<\/p>\n<p>Done at Luxembourg, 13 June 2002.<\/p>\n<p>For the Council<\/p>\n<p>The President<\/p>\n<p>M.

It also represents one of the most serious attacks on democracy and the rule of law, principles which are common to the Member States and on which the European Union is based.<\/p>\n<p>(2) Council Framework Decision 2002\/475\/JHA of 13 June 2002 on combating terrorism 2 is the basis of the counter-terrorist policy of the European Union. The achievement of a legal framework common to all Member States, and in particular, of a harmonised definition of terrorist offences, has allowed the counter-terrorism policy of the European Union to develop and expand, subject to the respect of fundamental rights and the rule of law.<\/p>\n<p>(3) The terrorist threat has grown and rapidly evolved in recent years, with changes in the modus operandi of terrorist activists and supporters including the replacement of structured and hierarchical groups by semi-autonomous cells loosely tied to each other. Such cells inter-link international networks and increasingly rely on the use of new technologies, in particular the Internet.<\/p>\n<p>(4) The Internet is used to inspire and mobilise local terrorist networks and individuals in Europe and also serves as a source of information on terrorist means and methods, thus functioning as a \u2018virtual training camp\u2019. Activities of public provocation to commit terrorist offences, recruitment for terrorism and training for terrorism have multiplied at very low cost and risk.<\/p>\n<p>(5) The Hague Programme on strengthening freedom, security and justice in the European Union, adopted by the European Council on 5 November 2004, underlines that effective prevention and combating of terrorism in full compliance with fundamental rights requires Member States not to confine their activities to maintaining their own security, but to focus also on the security of the Union as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>(6) The Council and Commission Action Plan implementing the Hague Programme on strengthening freedom, security and justice in the European Union 3, recalls that a global response is required to address terrorism and that the expectations that citizens have of the Union cannot be ignored, nor can the Union fail to respond to them. In addition, it states that attention must focus on different aspects of prevention, preparedness and response to further enhance, and where necessary complement, Member States\u2019 capabilities to fight terrorism, concentrating particularly on recruitment, financing, risk analysis, protection of critical infrastructures and consequence management.<\/p>\n<p>(7) This Framework Decision provides for the criminalisation of offences linked to terrorist activities in order to contribute to the more general policy objective of preventing terrorism through reducing the dissemination of those materials which might incite persons to commit terrorist attacks.<\/p>\n<p>(8) United Nations Security Council Resolution 1624 (2005) calls upon States to take measures that are necessary and appropriate, and in accordance with their obligations under international law, to prohibit by law incitement to commit terrorist act or acts and to prevent such conduct. The report of the Secretary- General of the United Nations \u2018Uniting against terrorism: recommendations for a global counter-terrorism strategy\u2019 of 27 April 2006, interprets the above- mentioned Resolution as providing for a basis for the criminalisation of incitement to terrorist acts and recruitment, including through the Internet. The United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy of 8 September 2006 mentions that the Member States of the UN resolve to explore ways and means to coordinate efforts at the international and regional level to counter terrorism in all its forms and manifestations on the Internet.<\/p>\n<p>(9) The Council of Europe Convention on the Prevention of Terrorism establishes the obligations of States parties thereto to criminalise public provocation to commit a terrorist offence and recruitment and training for terrorism, when committed unlawfully and intentionally.<\/p>\n<p>(10) The definition of terrorist offences, including offences linked to terrorist activities, should be further approximated in all Member States, so that it covers public provocation to commit a terrorist offence, recruitment for terrorism and training for terrorism, when committed intentionally.<\/p>\n<p>(11) Penalties should be provided for natural persons having intentionally committed or legal persons held liable for public provocation to commit terrorist offences, recruitment for terrorism and training for terrorism. These forms of behaviour should be equally punishable in all Member States irrespective of whether they are committed through the Internet or not.<\/p>\n<p>(12) Given that the objectives of this Framework Decision cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States unilaterally, and can therefore, because of the need for European-wide harmonised rules, be better achieved at the level of the Union, the Union may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity, as set out in Article 5 of the EC Treaty and referred to in Article 2 of the EU Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in Article 5 of the EC Treaty, this Framework Decision does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those objectives.<\/p>\n<p>(13) The Union observes the principles recognised by Article 6(2) of the EU Treaty and reflected in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, notably Chapters II and VI thereof. Nothing in this Framework Decision may be interpreted as being intended to reduce or restrict fundamental rights or freedoms such as freedom of expression, assembly, or of association, the right to respect for private and family life, including the right to respect of the confidentiality of correspondence.<\/p>\n<p>(14) Public provocation to commit terrorist offences, recruitment for terrorism and training for terrorism are intentional crimes. Therefore, nothing in this Framework Decision may be interpreted as being intended to reduce or restrict the dissemination of information for scientific, academic or reporting purposes. The expression of radical, polemic or controversial views in the public debate on sensitive political questions, including terrorism, falls outside the scope of this Framework Decision and, in particular, of the definition of public provocation to commit terrorist offences.<\/p>\n<p>(15) The implementation of the criminalisation under this Framework Decision should be proportional to the nature and circumstances of the offence, with respect to the legitimate aims pursued and to their necessity in a democratic society, and should exclude any form of arbitrariness or discrimination,<\/p>\n<p>HAS ADOPTED THIS FRAMEWORK DECISION:<\/p>\n<p>Article 1<\/p>\n<p>Amendments<\/p>\n<p>Framework Decision 2002\/475\/JHA shall be amended as follows:<\/p>\n<p>1.

Each Member State may decide to take the necessary measures to ensure that attempting to commit an offence referred to in Article 3(2)(b) and (c) is made punishable.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Article 2<\/p>\n<h4>Fundamental principles relating to freedom of expression<\/h4>\n<p>This Framework Decision shall not have the effect of requiring Member States to take measures in contradiction of fundamental principles relating to freedom of expression, in particular freedom of the press and the freedom of expression in other media as they result from constitutional traditions or rules governing the rights and responsibilities of, and the procedural guarantees for, the press or other media where these rules relate to the determination or limitation of liability.<\/p>\n<p>Article 3<\/p>\n<h4>Implementation and report<\/h4>\n<p>1.

Duty to investigate<\/p>\n<p>1 Upon receiving information that a person who has committed or who is alleged to have committed an offence set forth in this Convention may be present in its territory, the Party concerned shall take such measures as may be necessary under its domestic law to investigate the facts contained in the information.<\/p>\n<p>2 Upon being satisfied that the circumstances so warrant, the Party in whose territory the offender or alleged offender is present shall take the appropriate measures under its domestic law so as to ensure that person\u2019s presence for the purpose of prosecution or extradition.<\/p>\n<p>3 Any person in respect of whom the measures referred to in paragraph 2 are being taken shall be entitled to:<\/p>\n<p>a communicate without delay with the nearest appropriate representative of the State of which that person is a national or which is otherwise entitled to protect that person\u2019s rights or, if that person is a stateless person, the State in the territory of which that person habitually resides;<\/p>\n<p>b be visited by a representative of that State;<\/p>\n<p>c be informed of that person\u2019s rights under subparagraphs a. and b.<\/p>\n<p>4 The rights referred to in paragraph 3 shall be exercised in conformity with the laws and regulations of the Party in the territory of which the offender or alleged offender is present, subject to the provision that the said laws and regulations must enable full effect to be given to the purposes for which the rights accorded under paragraph 3 are intended.<\/p>\n<p>5 The provisions of paragraphs 3 and 4 shall be without prejudice to the right of any Party having a claim of jurisdiction in accordance with Article 14, paragraphs 1.c and 2.d to invite the International Committee of the Red Cross to communicate with and visit the alleged offender.<\/p>\n<p>Article 16 &#8211; Non application of the Convention<\/p>\n<p>This Convention shall not apply where any of the offences established in accordance with Articles 5 to 7 and 9 is committed within a single State, the alleged offender is a national of that State and is present in the territory of that State, and no other State has a basis under Article 14, paragraph 1 or 2 of this Convention, to exercise jurisdiction, it being understood that the provisions of Articles 17 and 20 to 22 of this Convention shall, as appropriate, apply in those cases.<\/p>\n<p>Article 17 &#8211; International co-operation in criminal matters<\/p>\n<p>1 Parties shall afford one another the greatest measure of assistance in connection with criminal investigations or criminal or extradition proceedings in respect of the offences set forth in Articles 5 to 7 and 9 of this Convention, including assistance in obtaining evidence in their possession necessary for the proceedings.<\/p>\n<p>2 Parties shall carry out their obligations under paragraph 1 in conformity with any treaties or other agreements on mutual legal assistance that may exist between them. In the absence of such treaties or agreements, Parties shall afford one another assistance in accordance with their domestic law.<\/p>\n<p>3 Parties shall co-operate with each other to the fullest extent possible under relevant law, treaties, agreements and arrangements of the requested Party with respect to criminal investigations or proceedings in relation to the offences for which a legal entity may be held liable in accordance with Article 10 of this Convention in the requesting Party.<\/p>\n<p>4 Each Party may give consideration to establishing additional mechanisms to share with other Parties information or evidence needed to establish criminal, civil or administrative liability pursuant to Article 10.<\/p>\n<p>Article 18 &#8211; Extradite or prosecute<\/p>\n<p>1 The Party in the territory of which the alleged offender is present shall, when it has jurisdiction in accordance with Article 14, if it does not extradite that person, be obliged, without exception whatsoever and whether or not the offence was committed in its territory, to submit the case without undue delay to its competent authorities for the purpose of prosecution, through proceedings in accordance with the laws of that Party. Those authorities shall take their decision in the same manner as in the case of any other offence of a serious nature under the law of that Party.<\/p>\n<p>2 Whenever a Party is permitted under its domestic law to extradite or otherwise surrender one of its nationals only upon the condition that the person will be returned to that Party to serve the sentence imposed as a result of the trial or proceeding for which the extradition or surrender of the person was sought, and this Party and the Party seeking the extradition of the person agree with this option and other terms they may deem appropriate, such a conditional extradition or surrender shall be sufficient to discharge the obligation set forth in paragraph 1.<\/p>\n<p>Article 19 &#8211; Extradition<\/p>\n<p>1 The offences set forth in Articles 5 to 7 and 9 of this Convention shall be deemed to be included as extraditable offences in any extradition treaty existing between any of the Parties before the entry into force of this Convention. Parties undertake to include such offences as extraditable offences in every extradition treaty to be subsequently concluded between them.<\/p>\n<p>2 When a Party which makes extradition conditional on the existence of a treaty receives a request for extradition from another Party with which it has no extradition treaty, the requested Party may, if it so decides, consider this Convention as a legal basis for extradition in respect of the offences set forth in Articles 5 to 7 and 9 of this Convention. Extradition shall be subject to the other conditions provided by the law of the requested Party.<\/p>\n<p>3 Parties which do not make extradition conditional on the existence of a treaty shall recognise the offences set forth in Articles 5 to 7 and 9 of this Convention as extraditable offences between themselves, subject to the conditions provided by the law of the requested Party.<\/p>\n<p>4 Where necessary, the offences set forth in Articles 5 to 7 and 9 of this Convention shall be treated, for the purposes of extradition between Parties, as if they had been committed not only in the place in which they occurred but also in the territory of the Parties that have established jurisdiction in accordance with Article 14.<\/p>\n<p>5 The provisions of all extradition treaties and agreements concluded between Parties in respect of offences set forth in Articles 5 to 7 and 9 of this Convention shall be deemed to be modified as between Parties to the extent that they are incompatible with this Convention.<\/p>\n<p>Article 20 &#8211; Exclusion of the political exception clause<\/p>\n<p>1 None of the offences referred to in Articles 5 to 7 and 9 of this Convention, shall be regarded, for the purposes of extradition or mutual legal assistance, as a political offence, an offence connected with a political offence, or as an offence inspired by political motives. Accordingly, a request for extradition or for mutual legal assistance based on such an offence may not be refused on the sole ground that it concerns a political offence or an offence connected with a political offence or an offence inspired by political motives.<\/p>\n<p>2 Without prejudice to the application of Articles 19 to 23 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties of 23 May 1969 to the other Articles of this Convention, any State or the European Community may, at the time of signature or when depositing its instrument of ratification, acceptance, approval or accession of the Convention, declare that it reserves the right to not apply paragraph 1 of this Article as far as extradition in respect of an offence set forth in this Convention is concerned. The Party undertakes to apply this reservation on a case-by-case basis, through a duly reasoned decision.<\/p>\n<p>3 Any Party may wholly or partly withdraw a reservation it has made in accordance with paragraph 2 by means of a declaration addressed to the Secretary General of the Council of Europe which shall become effective as from the date of its receipt.<\/p>\n<p>4 A Party which has made a reservation in accordance with paragraph 2 of this Article may not claim the application of paragraph 1 of this Article by any other Party; it may, however, if its reservation is partial or conditional, claim the application of this article in so far as it has itself accepted it.<\/p>\n<p>5 The reservation shall be valid for a period of three years from the day of the entry into force of this Convention in respect of the Party concerned. However, such reservation may be renewed for periods of the same duration.<\/p>\n<p>6 Twelve months before the date of expiry of the reservation, the Secretary General of the Council of Europe shall give notice of that expiry to the Party concerned. No later than three months before expiry, the Party shall notify the Secretary General of the Council of Europe that it is upholding, amending or withdrawing its reservation. Where a Party notifies the Secretary General of the Council of Europe that it is upholding its reservation, it shall provide an explanation of the grounds justifying its continuance. In the absence of notification by the Party concerned, the Secretary General of the Council of Europe shall inform that Party that its reservation is considered to have been extended automatically for a period of six months. Failure by the Party concerned to notify its intention to uphold or modify its reservation before the expiry of that period shall cause the reservation to lapse.<\/p>\n<p>7 Where a Party does not extradite a person in application of this reservation, after receiving an extradition request from another Party, it shall submit the case, without exception whatsoever and without undue delay, to its competent authorities for the purpose of prosecution, unless the requesting Party and the requested Party agree otherwise. The competent authorities, for the purpose of prosecution in the requested Party, shall take their decision in the same manner as in the case of any offence of a grave nature under the law of that Party. The requested Party shall communicate, without undue delay, the final outcome of the proceedings to the requesting Party and to the Secretary General of the Council of Europe, who shall forward it to the Consultation of the Parties provided for in Article 30.<\/p>\n<p>8 The decision to refuse the extradition request on the basis of this reservation shall be forwarded promptly to the requesting Party. If within a reasonable time no judicial decision on the merits has been taken in the requested Party according to paragraph 7, the requesting Party may communicate this fact to the Secretary General of the Council of Europe, who shall submit the matter to the Consultation of the Parties provided for in Article 30. This Consultation shall consider the matter and issue an opinion on the conformity of the refusal with the Convention and shall submit it to the Committee of Ministers for the purpose of issuing a declaration thereon. When performing its functions under this paragraph, the Committee of Ministers shall meet in its composition restricted to the States Parties.<\/p>\n<p>Article 21 &#8211; Discrimination clause<\/p>\n<p>1 Nothing in this Convention shall be interpreted as imposing an obligation to extradite or to afford mutual legal assistance, if the requested Party has substantial grounds for believing that the request for extradition for offences set forth in Articles 5 to 7 and 9 or for mutual legal assistance with respect to such offences has been made for the purpose of prosecuting or punishing a person on account of that person\u2019s race, religion, nationality, ethnic origin or political opinion or that compliance with the request would cause prejudice to that person\u2019s position for any of these reasons.<\/p>\n<p>2 Nothing in this Convention shall be interpreted as imposing an obligation to extradite if the person who is the subject of the extradition request risks being exposed to torture or to inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.<\/p>\n<p>3 Nothing in this Convention shall be interpreted either as imposing an obligation to extradite if the person who is the subject of the extradition request risks being exposed to the death penalty or, where the law of the requested Party does not allow for life imprisonment, to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole, unless under applicable extradition treaties the requested Party is under the obligation to extradite if the requesting Party gives such assurance as the requested Party considers sufficient that the death penalty will not be imposed or, where imposed, will not be carried out, or that the person concerned will not be subject to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.<\/p>\n<p>Article 22 &#8211; Spontaneous information<\/p>\n<p>1 Without prejudice to their own investigations or proceedings, the competent authorities of a Party may, without prior request, forward to the competent authorities of another Party information obtained within the framework of their own investigations, when they consider that the disclosure of such information might assist the Party receiving the information in initiating or carrying out investigations or proceedings, or might lead to a request by that Party under this Convention.<\/p>\n<p>2 The Party providing the information may, pursuant to its national law, impose conditions on the use of such information by the Party receiving the information.<\/p>\n<p>3 The Party receiving the information shall be bound by those conditions.<\/p>\n<p>4 However, any Party may, at any time, by means of a declaration addressed to the Secretary General of the Council of Europe, declare that it reserves the right not to be bound by the conditions imposed by the Party providing the information under paragraph 2 above, unless it receives prior notice of the nature of the information to be provided and agrees to its transmission.<\/p>\n<p>Article 23 &#8211; Signature and entry into force<\/p>\n<p>1 This Convention shall be open for signature by the member States of the Council of Europe, the European Community and by non-member States which have participated in its elaboration.<\/p>\n<p>2 This Convention is subject to ratification, acceptance or approval. Instruments of ratification, acceptance or approval shall be deposited with the Secretary General of the Council of Europe.<\/p>\n<p>3 This Convention shall enter into force on the first day of the month following the expiration of a period of three months after the date on which six Signatories, including at least four member States of the Council of Europe, have expressed their consent to be bound by the Convention in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 2.<\/p>\n<p>4 In respect of any Signatory which subsequently expresses its consent to be bound by it, the Convention shall enter into force on the first day of the month following the expiration of a period of three months after the date of the expression of its consent to be bound by the Convention in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 2.<\/p>\n<p>Article 24 &#8211; Accession to the Convention<\/p>\n<p>1 After the entry into force of this Convention, the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe, after consulting with and obtaining the unanimous consent of the Parties to the Convention, may invite any State which is not a member of the Council of Europe and which has not participated in its elaboration to accede to this convention. The decision shall be taken by the majority provided for in Article 20.d of the Statute of the Council of Europe and by the unanimous vote of the representatives of the Parties entitled to sit on the Committee of Ministers.<\/p>\n<p>2 In respect of any State acceding to the convention under paragraph 1 above, the Convention shall enter into force on the first day of the month following the expiration of a period of three months after the date of deposit of the instrument of accession with the Secretary General of the Council of Europe.<\/p>\n<p>Article 25 &#8211; Territorial application<\/p>\n<p>1 Any State or the European Community may, at the time of signature or when depositing its instrument of ratification, acceptance, approval or accession, specify the territory or territories to which this Convention shall apply.<\/p>\n<p>2 Any Party may, at any later date, by a declaration addressed to the Secretary General of the Council of Europe, extend the application of this Convention to any other territory specified in the declaration. In respect of such territory the Convention shall enter into force on the first day of the month following the expiration of a period of three months after the date of receipt of the declaration by the Secretary General.<\/p>\n<p>3 Any declaration made under the two preceding paragraphs may, in respect of any territory specified in such declaration, be withdrawn by a notification addressed to the Secretary General of the Council of Europe. The withdrawal shall become effective on the first day of the month following the expiration of a period of three months after the date of receipt of such notification by the Secretary General.<\/p>\n<p>Article 26 &#8211; Effects of the Convention<\/p>\n<p>1 The present Convention supplements applicable multilateral or bilateral treaties or agreements between the Parties, including the provisions of the following Council of Europe treaties:<\/p>\n<p>-European Convention on Extradition, opened for signature, in Paris, on 13 December 1957 (ETS No. 24);<\/p>\n<p>-European Convention on Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters, opened for signature, in Strasbourg, on 20 April 1959 (ETS No. 30);<\/p>\n<p>-European Convention on the Suppression of Terrorism, opened for signature, in Strasbourg, on 27 January 1977 (ETS No. 90);<\/p>\n<p>-Additional Protocol to the European Convention on Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters, opened for signature in Strasbourg on 17 March 1978 (ETS No. 99);<\/p>\n<p>-Second Additional Protocol to the European Convention on Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters, opened for signature in Strasbourg on 8 November 2001 (ETS No. 182);<\/p>\n<p>-Protocol amending the European Convention on the Suppression of Terrorism, opened for signature in Strasbourg on 15 May 2003 (ETS No. 190).<\/p>\n<p>2 If two or more Parties have already concluded an agreement or treaty on the matters dealt with in this Convention or have otherwise established their relations on such matters, or should they in future do so, they shall also be entitled to apply that agreement or treaty or to regulate those relations accordingly. However, where Parties establish their relations in respect of the matters dealt with in the present Convention other than as regulated therein, they shall do so in a manner that is not inconsistent with the Convention\u2019s objectives and principles.<\/p>\n<p>3 Parties which are members of the European Union shall, in their mutual relations, apply Community and European Union rules in so far as there are Community or European Union rules governing the particular subject concerned and applicable to the specific case, without prejudice to the object and purpose of the present Convention and without prejudice to its full application with other Parties.<\/p>\n<p>4 Nothing in this Convention shall affect other rights, obligations and responsibilities of a Party and individuals under international law, including international humanitarian law.<\/p>\n<p>5 The activities of armed forces during an armed conflict, as those terms are understood under international humanitarian law, which are governed by that law, are not governed by this Convention, and the activities undertaken by military forces of a Party in the exercise of their official duties, inasmuch as they are governed by other rules of international law, are not governed by this Convention.<\/p>\n<p>Article 27 &#8211; Amendments to the Convention<\/p>\n<p>1 Amendments to this Convention may be proposed by any Party, the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe or the Consultation of the Parties.<\/p>\n<p>2 Any proposal for amendment shall be communicated by the Secretary General of the Council of Europe to the Parties.<\/p>\n<p>3 Moreover, any amendment proposed by a Party or the Committee of Ministers shall be communicated to the Consultation of the Parties, which shall submit to the Committee of Ministers its opinion on the proposed amendment.<\/p>\n<p>4 The Committee of Ministers shall consider the proposed amendment and any opinion submitted by the Consultation of the Parties and may approve the amendment.<\/p>\n<p>5 The text of any amendment approved by the Committee of Ministers in accordance with paragraph 4 shall be forwarded to the Parties for acceptance.<\/p>\n<p>6 Any amendment approved in accordance with paragraph 4 shall come into force on the thirtieth day after all Parties have informed the Secretary General of their acceptance thereof.<\/p>\n<p>Article 28 &#8211; Revision of the Appendix<\/p>\n<p>1 In order to update the list of treaties in the Appendix, amendments may be proposed by any Party or by the Committee of Ministers.

That State Party shall immediately make a preliminary inquiry into the facts.<\/p>\n<p>2.

If a State Party which makes extradition conditional on the existence of a treaty receives a request for extradition from another State Party with which it has no extradition treaty, the requested State may at its option consider this Convention as the legal basis for extradition in respect of the offences set forth in article 1. Extradition shall be subject to the other conditions provided by the law of the requested State.<\/p>\n<p>3. States Parties which do not make extradition conditional on the existence of a treaty shall recognize the offences set forth in article 1 as extraditable offences between themselves subject to the conditions provided by the law of the requested State.<\/p>\n<p>4. The offences set forth in article 1 shall be treated, for the purpose of extradition between States Parties, as if they had been committed not only in the place in which they occurred but also in the territories of the States required to establish their jurisdiction in accordance with paragraph 1 of article 5.<\/p>\n<p>Article 11<\/p>\n<p>1. States Parties shall afford one another the greatest measure of assistance in connexion with criminal proceedings brought in respect of the offences set forth in article 1, including the supply of all evidence at their disposal necessary for the proceedings.<\/p>\n<p>2.

Any person also commits an offence if that person:<\/p>\n<p>(a) Participates as an accomplice in an offence as set forth in paragraph 1 or 2; or<\/p>\n<p>(b) Organizes or directs others to commit an offence as set forth in paragraph 1 or 2; or<\/p>\n<p>(c) In any other way contributes to the commission of one or more offences as set forth in paragraph 1 or 2 by a group of persons acting with a common purpose; such contribution shall be intentional and either be made with the aim of furthering the general criminal activity or purpose of the group or be made in the knowledge of the intention of the group to commit the offence or offences concerned.<\/p>\n<p>Article 3<\/p>\n<p>This Convention shall not apply where the offence is committed within a single State, the alleged offender and the victims are nationals of that State, the alleged offender is found in the territory of that State and no other State has a basis under article 6, paragraph 1 or article 6, paragraph 2, of this Convention to exercise jurisdiction, except that the provisions of articles 10 to 15 shall, as appropriate, apply in those cases.<\/p>\n<p>Article 4<\/p>\n<p>Each State Party shall adopt such measures as may be necessary:<\/p>\n<p>(a) To establish as criminal offences under its domestic law the offences set forth in article 2 of this Convention;<\/p>\n<p>(b) To make those offences punishable by appropriate penalties which take into account the grave nature of those offences.<\/p>\n<p>Article 5<\/p>\n<p>Each State Party shall adopt such measures as may be necessary, including, where appropriate, domestic legislation, to ensure that criminal acts within the scope of this Convention, in particular where they are intended or calculated to provoke a state of terror in the general public or in a group of persons or particular persons, are under no circumstances justifiable by considerations of a political, philosophical, ideological, racial, ethnic, religious or other similar nature and are punished by penalties consistent with their grave nature.<\/p>\n<p>Article 6<\/p>\n<p>1. Each State Party shall take such measures as may be necessary to establish its jurisdiction over the offences set forth in article 2 when:<\/p>\n<p>(a) The offence is committed in the territory of that State; or<\/p>\n<p>(b) The offence is committed on board a vessel flying the flag of that State or an aircraft which is registered under the laws of that State at the time the offence is committed; or<\/p>\n<p>(c) The offence is committed by a national of that State.<\/p>\n<p>2. A State Party may also establish its jurisdiction over any such offence when:<\/p>\n<p>(a) The offence is committed against a national of that State; or<\/p>\n<p>(b) The offence is committed against a State or government facility of that State abroad, including an embassy or other diplomatic or consular premises of that State; or<\/p>\n<p>(c) The offence is committed by a stateless person who has his or her habitual residence in the territory of that State; or<\/p>\n<p>(d) The offence is committed in an attempt to compel that State to do or abstain from doing any act; or<\/p>\n<p>(e) The offence is committed on board an aircraft which is operated by the Government of that State.<\/p>\n<p>3. Upon ratifying, accepting, approving or acceding to this Convention, each State Party shall notify the Secretary-General of the United Nations of the jurisdiction it has established in accordance with paragraph 2 under its domestic law. Should any change take place, the State Party concerned shall immediately notify the Secretary-General.<\/p>\n<p>4. Each State Party shall likewise take such measures as may be necessary to establish its jurisdiction over the offences set forth in article 2 in cases where the alleged offender is present in its territory and it does not extradite that person to any of the States Parties which have established their jurisdiction in accordance with paragraph 1 or 2.<\/p>\n<p>5. This Convention does not exclude the exercise of any criminal jurisdiction established by a State Party in accordance with its domestic law.<\/p>\n<p>Article 7<\/p>\n<p>1. Upon receiving information that a person who has committed or who is alleged to have committed an offence as set forth in article 2 may be present in its territory, the State Party concerned shall take such measures as may be necessary under its domestic law to investigate the facts contained in the information.<\/p>\n<p>2. Upon being satisfied that the circumstances so warrant, the State Party in whose territory the offender or alleged offender is present shall take the appropriate measures under its domestic law so as to ensure that person&#8217;s presence for the purpose of prosecution or extradition.<\/p>\n<p>3. Any person regarding whom the measures referred to in paragraph 2 are being taken shall be entitled to:<\/p>\n<p>(a) Communicate without delay with the nearest appropriate representative of the State of which that person is a national or which is otherwise entitled to protect that person\u2019s rights or, if that person is a stateless person, the State in the territory of which that person habitually resides;<\/p>\n<p>(b) Be visited by a representative of that State;<\/p>\n<p>(c) Be informed of that person&#8217;s rights under subparagraphs (a) and (b).<\/p>\n<p>4. The rights referred to in paragraph 3 shall be exercised in conformity with the laws and regulations of the State in the territory of which the offender or alleged offender is present, subject to the provision that the said laws and regulations must enable full effect to be given to the purposes for which the rights accorded under paragraph 3 are intended.<\/p>\n<p>5. The provisions of paragraphs 3 and 4 shall be without prejudice to the right of any State Party having a claim to jurisdiction in accordance with article 6, subparagraph 1(c) or 2(c), to invite the International Committee of the Red Cross to communicate with and visit the alleged offender.<\/p>\n<p>6. When a State Party, pursuant to this article, has taken a person into custody, it shall immediately notify, directly or through the Secretary-General of the United Nations, the States Parties which have established jurisdiction in accordance with article 6, paragraphs 1 and 2, and, if it considers it advisable, any other interested States Parties, of the fact that such person is in custody and of the circumstances which warrant that person&#8217;s detention. The State which makes the investigation contemplated in paragraph 1 shall promptly inform the said States Parties of its findings and shall indicate whether it intends to exercise jurisdiction.<\/p>\n<p>Article 8<\/p>\n<p>1. The State Party in the territory of which the alleged offender is present shall, in cases to which article 6 applies, if it does not extradite that person, be obliged, without exception whatsoever and whether or not the offence was committed in its territory, to submit the case without undue delay to its competent authorities for the purpose of prosecution, through proceedings in accordance with the laws of that State. Those authorities shall take their decision in the same manner as in the case of any other offence of a grave nature under the law of that State.<\/p>\n<p>2. Whenever a State Party is permitted under its domestic law to extradite or otherwise surrender one of its nationals only upon the condition that the person will be returned to that State to serve the sentence imposed as a result of the trial or proceeding for which the extradition or surrender of the person was sought, and this State and the State seeking the extradition of the person agree with this option and other terms they may deem appropriate, such a conditional extradition or surrender shall be sufficient to discharge the obligation set forth in paragraph 1.<\/p>\n<p>Article 9<\/p>\n<p>1. The offences set forth in article 2 shall be deemed to be included as extraditable offences in any extradition treaty existing between any of the States Parties before the entry into force of this Convention. States Parties undertake to include such offences as extraditable offences in every extradition treaty to be subsequently concluded between them.<\/p>\n<p>2. When a State Party which makes extradition conditional on the existence of a treaty receives a request for extradition from another State Party with which it has no extradition treaty, the requested State Party may, at its option, consider this Convention as a legal basis for extradition in respect of the offences set forth in article 2. Extradition shall be subject to the other conditions provided by the law of the requested State.<\/p>\n<p>3. States Parties which do not make extradition conditional on the existence of a treaty shall recognize the offences set forth in article 2 as extraditable offences between themselves, subject to the conditions provided by the law of the requested State.<\/p>\n<p>4. If necessary, the offences set forth in article 2 shall be treated, for the purposes of extradition between States Parties, as if they had been committed not only in the place in which they occurred but also in the territory of the States that have established jurisdiction in accordance with article 6, paragraphs 1 and 2.<\/p>\n<p>5. The provisions of all extradition treaties and arrangements between States Parties with regard to offences set forth in article 2 shall be deemed to be modified as between State Parties to the extent that they are incompatible with this Convention.<\/p>\n<p>Article 10<\/p>\n<p>1. States Parties shall afford one another the greatest measure of assistance in connection with investigations or criminal or extradition proceedings brought in respect of the offences set forth in article 2, including assistance in obtaining evidence at their disposal necessary for the proceedings.<\/p>\n<p>2. States Parties shall carry out their obligations under paragraph 1 in conformity with any treaties or other arrangements on mutual legal assistance that may exist between them. In the absence of such treaties or arrangements, States Parties shall afford one another assistance in accordance with their domestic law.<\/p>\n<p>Article 11<\/p>\n<p>None of the offences set forth in article 2 shall be regarded, for the purposes of extradition or mutual legal assistance, as a political offence or as an offence connected with a political offence or as an offence inspired by political motives. Accordingly, a request for extradition or for mutual legal assistance based on such an offence may not be refused on the sole ground that it concerns a political offence or an offence connected with a political offence or an offence inspired by political motives.<\/p>\n<p>Article 12<\/p>\n<p>Nothing in this Convention shall be interpreted as imposing an obligation to extradite or to afford mutual legal assistance, if the requested State Party has substantial grounds for believing that the request for extradition for offences set forth in article 2 or for mutual legal assistance with respect to such offences has been made for the purpose of prosecuting or punishing a person on account of that person&#8217;s race, religion, nationality, ethnic origin or political opinion or that compliance with the request would cause prejudice to that person&#8217;s position for any of these reasons.<\/p>\n<p>Article 13<\/p>\n<p>1. A person who is being detained or is serving a sentence in the territory of one State Party whose presence in another State Party is requested for purposes of testimony, identification or otherwise providing assistance in obtaining evidence for the investigation or prosecution of offences under this Convention may be transferred if the following conditions are met:<\/p>\n<p>(a) The person freely gives his or her informed consent; and<\/p>\n<p>(b) The competent authorities of both States agree, subject to such conditions as those States may deem appropriate.<\/p>\n<p>2. For the purposes of this article:<\/p>\n<p>(a) The State to which the person is transferred shall have the authority and obligation to keep the person transferred in custody, unless otherwise requested or authorized by the State from which the person was transferred;<\/p>\n<p>(b) The State to which the person is transferred shall without delay implement its obligation to return the person to the custody of the State from which the person was transferred as agreed beforehand, or as otherwise agreed, by the competent authorities of both States;<\/p>\n<p>(c) The State to which the person is transferred shall not require the State from which the person was transferred to initiate extradition proceedings for the return of the person;<\/p>\n<p>(d) The person transferred shall receive credit for service of the sentence being served in the State from which he was transferred for time spent in the custody of the State to which he was transferred.<\/p>\n<p>3. Unless the State Party from which a person is to be transferred in accordance with this article so agrees, that person, whatever his or her nationality, shall not be prosecuted or detained or subjected to any other restriction of his or her personal liberty in the territory of the State to which that person is transferred in respect of acts or convictions anterior to his or her departure from the territory of the State from which such person was transferred.<\/p>\n<p>Article 14<\/p>\n<p>Any person who is taken into custody or regarding whom any other measures are taken or proceedings are carried out pursuant to this Convention shall be guaranteed fair treatment, including enjoyment of all rights and guarantees in conformity with the law of the State in the territory of which that person is present and applicable provisions of international law, including international law of human rights.<\/p>\n<p>Article 15<\/p>\n<p>States Parties shall cooperate in the prevention of the offences set forth in article 2, particularly:<\/p>\n<p>(a) By taking all practicable measures, including, if necessary, adapting their domestic legislation, to prevent and counter preparations in their respective territories for the commission of those offences within or outside their territories, including measures to prohibit in their territories illegal activities of persons, groups and organizations that encourage, instigate, organize, knowingly finance or engage in the perpetration of offences as set forth in article 2;<\/p>\n<p>(b) By exchanging accurate and verified information in accordance with their national law, and coordinating administrative and other measures taken as appropriate to prevent the commission of offences as set forth in article 2;<\/p>\n<p>(c) Where appropriate, through research and development regarding methods of detection of explosives and other harmful substances that can cause death or bodily injury, consultations on the development of standards for marking explosives in order to identify their origin in post-blast investigations, exchange of information on preventive measures, cooperation and transfer of technology, equipment and related materials.<\/p>\n<p>Article 16<\/p>\n<p>The State Party where the alleged offender is prosecuted shall, in accordance with its domestic law or applicable procedures, communicate the final outcome of the proceedings to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, who shall transmit the information to the other States Parties.<\/p>\n<p>Article 17<\/p>\n<p>The States Parties shall carry out their obligations under this Convention in a manner consistent with the principles of sovereign equality and territorial integrity of States and that of non-intervention in the domestic affairs of other States.<\/p>\n<p>Article 18<\/p>\n<p>Nothing in this Convention entitles a State Party to undertake in the territory of another State Party the exercise of jurisdiction and performance of functions which are exclusively reserved for the authorities of that other State Party by its domestic law.<\/p>\n<p>Article 19<\/p>\n<p>1. Nothing in this Convention shall affect other rights, obligations and responsibilities of States and individuals under international law, in particular the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations and international humanitarian law.<\/p>\n<p>2. The activities of armed forces during an armed conflict, as those terms are understood under international humanitarian law, which are governed by that law, are not governed by this Convention, and the activities undertaken by military forces of a State in the exercise of their official duties, inasmuch as they are governed by other rules of international law, are not governed by this Convention.<\/p>\n<p>Article 20<\/p>\n<p>1. Any dispute between two or more States Parties concerning the interpretation or application of this Convention which cannot be settled through negotiation within a reasonable time shall, at the request of one of them, be submitted to arbitration. If, within six months from the date of the request for arbitration, the parties are unable to agree on the organization of the arbitration, any one of those parties may refer the dispute to the International Court of Justice, by application, in conformity with the Statute of the Court.<\/p>\n<p>2. Each State may at the time of signature, ratification, acceptance or approval of this Convention or accession thereto declare that it does not consider itself bound by paragraph 1. The other States Parties shall not be bound by paragraph 1 with respect to any State Party which has made such a reservation.<\/p>\n<p>3. Any State which has made a reservation in accordance with paragraph 2 may at any time withdraw that reservation by notification to the Secretary-General of the United Nations.<\/p>\n<p>Article 21<\/p>\n<p>1. This Convention shall be open for signature by all States from 12 January 1998 until 31 December 1999 at United Nations Headquarters in New York.<\/p>\n<p>2.

Convention,<\/p>\n<p>Bearing in mind the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations concerning the maintenance of international peace and security and the promotion of good-neighbourliness and friendly relations and cooperation among States,<\/p>\n<p>Deeply concerned about the worldwide escalation of acts of terrorism in all its forms and manifestations,<\/p>\n<p>Recalling the Declaration on the Occasion of the Fiftieth Anniversary of the United Nations, contained in General Assembly resolution 50\/6 of 24 October 1995,<\/p>\n<p>Recalling also all the relevant General Assembly resolutions on the matter, including resolution 49\/60 of 9 December 1994 and its annex thereto on the Declaration on Measures to Eliminate International Terrorism, in which the States Members of the United Nations solemnly reaffirmed their unequivocal condemnation of all acts, methods and practices of terrorism as criminal and unjustifiable, wherever and by whomever committed, including those which jeopardize the friendly relations among States and peoples and threaten the territorial integrity and security of States,<\/p>\n<p>Noting that the Declaration on Measures to Eliminate International Terrorism also encouraged States to review urgently the scope of the existing international legal provisions on the prevention, repression and elimination of terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, with the aim of ensuring that there is a comprehensive legal framework covering all aspects of the matter,<\/p>\n<p>Recalling General Assembly resolution 51\/210 of 17 December 1996, paragraph 3, subparagraph (f), in which the Assembly called upon all States to take steps to prevent and counteract, through appropriate domestic measures, the financing of terrorists and terrorist organizations, whether such financing is direct or indirect through organizations which also have or claim to have charitable, social or cultural goals or which are also engaged in unlawful activities such as illicit arms trafficking, drug dealing and racketeering, including the exploitation of persons for purposes of funding terrorist activities, and in particular to consider, where appropriate, adopting regulatory measures to prevent and counteract movements of funds suspected to be intended for terrorist purposes without impeding in any way the freedom of legitimate capital movements and to intensify the exchange of information concerning international movements of such funds,<\/p>\n<p>Recalling also General Assembly resolution 52\/165 of 15 December 1997, in which the Assembly called upon States to consider, in particular, the implementation of the measures set out in paragraphs 3(a) to (f) of its resolution 51\/210 of 17 December 1996,<\/p>\n<p>Recalling further General Assembly resolution 53\/108 of 8 December 1998, in which the Assembly decided that the Ad Hoc Committee established by General Assembly resolution 51\/210 of 17 December 1996 should elaborate a draft international convention for the suppression of terrorist financing to supplement related existing international instruments,<\/p>\n<p>Considering that the financing of terrorism is a matter of grave concern to the international community as a whole,<\/p>\n<p>Noting that the number and seriousness of acts of international terrorism depend on the financing that terrorists may obtain,<\/p>\n<p>Noting also that existing multilateral legal instruments do not expressly address such financing,<\/p>\n<p>Being convinced of the urgent need to enhance international cooperation among States in devising and adopting effective measures for the prevention of the financing of terrorism, as well as for its suppression through the prosecution and punishment of its perpetrators,<\/p>\n<p>Have agreed as follows:<\/p>\n<p>Article 1<\/p>\n<p>For the purposes of this Convention:<\/p>\n<p>1.

2<\/p>\n<p>1. Any person commits an offence within the meaning of this Convention if that person by any means, directly or indirectly, unlawfully and wilfully, provides or collects funds with the intention that they should be used or in the knowledge that they are to be used, in full or in part, in order to carry out:<\/p>\n<p>(a) An act which constitutes an offence within the scope of and as defined in one of the treaties listed in the annex; or<\/p>\n<p>(b) Any other act intended to cause death or serious bodily injury to a civilian, or to any other person not taking an active part in the hostilities in a situation of armed conflict, when the purpose of such act, by its nature or context, is to intimidate a population, or to compel a Government or an international organization to do or to abstain from doing any act.<\/p>\n<p>2. (a) On depositing its instrument of ratification, acceptance, approval or accession, a State Party which is not a party to a treaty listed in the annex may declare that, in the application of this Convention to the State Party, the treaty shall be deemed not to be included in the annex referred to in paragraph 1, subparagraph (a). The declaration shall cease to have effect as soon as the treaty enters into force for the State Party, which shall notify the depositary of this fact;<\/p>\n<p>(b) When a State Party ceases to be a party to a treaty listed in the annex, it may make a declaration as provided for in this article, with respect to that treaty.<\/p>\n<p>3. For an act to constitute an offence set forth in paragraph 1, it shall not be necessary that the funds were actually used to carry out an offence referred to in paragraph 1, subparagraph (a) or (b).<\/p>\n<p>4. Any person also commits an offence if that person attempts to commit an offence as set forth in paragraph 1 of this article.<\/p>\n<p>5. Any person also commits an offence if that person:<\/p>\n<p>(a) Participates as an accomplice in an offence as set forth in paragraph 1 or 4 of this article;<\/p>\n<p>(b) Organizes or directs others to commit an offence as set forth in paragraph 1 or 4 of this article;<\/p>\n<p>(c) Contributes to the commission of one or more offences as set forth in paragraphs 1 or 4 of this article by a group of persons acting with a common purpose. Such contribution shall be intentional and shall either:<\/p>\n<p>(i) Be made with the aim of furthering the criminal activity or criminal purpose of the group, where such activity or purpose involves the commission of an offence as set forth in paragraph 1 of this article; or<\/p>\n<p>(ii) Be made in the knowledge of the intention of the group to commit an offence as set forth in paragraph 1 of this article.<\/p>\n<p>Article 3<\/p>\n<p>This Convention shall not apply where the offence is committed within a single State, the alleged offender is a national of that State and is present in the territory of that State and no other State has a basis under article 7, paragraph 1, or article 7, paragraph 2, to exercise jurisdiction, except that the provisions of articles 12 to 18 shall, as appropriate, apply in those cases.<\/p>\n<p>Article 4<\/p>\n<p>Each State Party shall adopt such measures as may be necessary:<\/p>\n<p>(a) To establish as criminal offences under its domestic law the offences set forth in article 2;<\/p>\n<p>(b) To make those offences punishable by appropriate penalties which take into account the grave nature of the offences.<\/p>\n<p>Article 5<\/p>\n<p>1. Each State Party, in accordance with its domestic legal principles, shall take the necessary measures to enable a legal entity located in its territory or organized under its laws to be held liable when a person responsible for the management or control of that legal entity has, in that capacity, committed an offence set forth in article 2. Such liability may be criminal, civil or administrative.<\/p>\n<p>2. Such liability is incurred without prejudice to the criminal liability of individuals who have committed the offences.<\/p>\n<p>3. Each State Party shall ensure, in particular, that legal entities liable in accordance with paragraph 1 above are subject to effective, proportionate and dissuasive criminal, civil or administrative sanctions. Such sanctions may include monetary sanctions.<\/p>\n<p>Article 6<\/p>\n<p>Each State Party shall adopt such measures as may be necessary, including, where appropriate, domestic legislation, to ensure that criminal acts within the scope of this Convention are under no circumstances justifiable by considerations of a political, philosophical, ideological, racial, ethnic, religious or other similar nature.<\/p>\n<p>Article 7<\/p>\n<p>1. Each State Party shall take such measures as may be necessary to establish its jurisdiction over the offences set forth in article 2 when:<\/p>\n<p>(a) The offence is committed in the territory of that State;<\/p>\n<p>(b) The offence is committed on board a vessel flying the flag of that State or an aircraft registered under the laws of that State at the time the offence is committed;<\/p>\n<p>(c) The offence is committed by a national of that State.<\/p>\n<p>2. A State Party may also establish its jurisdiction over any such offence when:<\/p>\n<p>(a) The offence was directed towards or resulted in the carrying out of an offence referred to in article 2, paragraph 1, subparagraph (a) or (b), in the territory of or against a national of that State;<\/p>\n<p>(b) The offence was directed towards or resulted in the carrying out of an offence referred to in article 2, paragraph 1, subparagraph (a) or (b), against a State or government facility of that State abroad, including diplomatic or consular premises of that State;<\/p>\n<p>(c) The offence was directed towards or resulted in an offence referred to in article 2, paragraph 1, subparagraph (a) or (b), committed in an attempt to compel that State to do or abstain from doing any act;<\/p>\n<p>(d) The offence is committed by a stateless person who has his or her habitual residence in the territory of that State;<\/p>\n<p>(e) The offence is committed on board an aircraft which is operated by the Government of that State.<\/p>\n<p>3. Upon ratifying, accepting, approving or acceding to this Convention, each State Party shall notify the Secretary-General of the United Nations of the jurisdiction it has established in accordance with paragraph 2. Should any change take place, the State Party concerned shall immediately notify the Secretary-General.<\/p>\n<p>4. Each State Party shall likewise take such measures as may be necessary to establish its jurisdiction over the offences set forth in article 2 in cases where the alleged offender is present in its territory and it does not extradite that person to any of the States Parties that have established their jurisdiction in accordance with paragraphs 1 or 2.<\/p>\n<p>5. When more than one State Party claims jurisdiction over the offences set forth in article 2, the relevant States Parties shall strive to coordinate their actions appropriately, in particular concerning the conditions for prosecution and the modalities for mutual legal assistance.<\/p>\n<p>6. Without prejudice to the norms of general international law, this Convention does not exclude the exercise of any criminal jurisdiction established by a State Party in accordance with its domestic law.<\/p>\n<p>Article 8<\/p>\n<p>1. Each State Party shall take appropriate measures, in accordance with its domestic legal principles, for the identification, detection and freezing or seizure of any funds used or allocated for the purpose of committing the offences set forth in article 2 as well as the proceeds derived from such offences, for purposes of possible forfeiture.<\/p>\n<p>2. Each State Party shall take appropriate measures, in accordance with its domestic legal principles, for the forfeiture of funds used or allocated for the purpose of committing the offences set forth in article 2 and the proceeds derived from such offences.<\/p>\n<p>3. Each State Party concerned may give consideration to concluding agreements on the sharing with other States Parties, on a regular or case-by-case basis, of the funds derived from the forfeitures referred to in this article.<\/p>\n<p>4. Each State Party shall consider establishing mechanisms whereby the funds derived from the forfeitures referred to in this article are utilized to compensate the victims of offences referred to in article 2, paragraph 1, subparagraph (a) or (b), or their families.<\/p>\n<p>5. The provisions of this article shall be implemented without prejudice to the rights of third parties acting in good faith.<\/p>\n<p>Article 9<\/p>\n<p>1. Upon receiving information that a person who has committed or who is alleged to have committed an offence set forth in article 2 may be present in its territory, the State Party concerned shall take such measures as may be necessary under its domestic law to investigate the facts contained in the information.<\/p>\n<p>2. Upon being satisfied that the circumstances so warrant, the State Party in whose territory the offender or alleged offender is present shall take the appropriate measures under its domestic law so as to ensure that person&#8217;s presence for the purpose of prosecution or extradition.<\/p>\n<p>3. Any person regarding whom the measures referred to in paragraph 2 are being taken shall be entitled to:<\/p>\n<p>(a) Communicate without delay with the nearest appropriate representative of the State of which that person is a national or which is otherwise entitled to protect that person\u2019s rights or, if that person is a stateless person, the State in the territory of which that person habitually resides;<\/p>\n<p>(b) Be visited by a representative of that State;<\/p>\n<p>(c) Be informed of that person&#8217;s rights under subparagraphs (a) and (b).<\/p>\n<p>4. The rights referred to in paragraph 3 shall be exercised in conformity with the laws and regulations of the State in the territory of which the offender or alleged offender is present, subject to the provision that the said laws and regulations must enable full effect to be given to the purposes for which the rights accorded under paragraph 3 are intended.<\/p>\n<p>5. The provisions of paragraphs 3 and 4 shall be without prejudice to the right of any State Party having a claim to jurisdiction in accordance with article 7, paragraph 1, subparagraph (b), or paragraph 2, subparagraph (b), to invite the International Committee of the Red Cross to communicate with and visit the alleged offender.<\/p>\n<p>6. When a State Party, pursuant to the present article, has taken a person into custody, it shall immediately notify, directly or through the Secretary-General of the United Nations, the States Parties which have established jurisdiction in accordance with article 7, paragraph 1 or 2, and, if it considers it advisable, any other interested States Parties, of the fact that such person is in custody and of the circumstances which warrant that person&#8217;s detention. The State which makes the investigation contemplated in paragraph 1 shall promptly inform the said States Parties of its findings and shall indicate whether it intends to exercise jurisdiction.<\/p>\n<p>Article 10<\/p>\n<p>1. The State Party in the territory of which the alleged offender is present shall, in cases to which article 7 applies, if it does not extradite that person, be obliged, without exception whatsoever and whether or not the offence was committed in its territory, to submit the case without undue delay to its competent authorities for the purpose of prosecution, through proceedings in accordance with the laws of that State. Those authorities shall take their decision in the same manner as in the case of any other offence of a grave nature under the law of that State.<\/p>\n<p>2. Whenever a State Party is permitted under its domestic law to extradite or otherwise surrender one of its nationals only upon the condition that the person will be returned to that State to serve the sentence imposed as a result of the trial or proceeding for which the extradition or surrender of the person was sought, and this State and the State seeking the extradition of the person agree with this option and other terms they may deem appropriate, such a conditional extradition or surrender shall be sufficient to discharge the obligation set forth in paragraph 1.<\/p>\n<p>Article 11<\/p>\n<p>1. The offences set forth in article 2 shall be deemed to be included as extraditable offences in any extradition treaty existing between any of the States Parties before the entry into force of this Convention. States Parties undertake to include such offences as extraditable offences in every extradition treaty to be subsequently concluded between them.<\/p>\n<p>2. When a State Party which makes extradition conditional on the existence of a treaty receives a request for extradition from another State Party with which it has no extradition treaty, the requested State Party may, at its option, consider this Convention as a legal basis for extradition in respect of the offences set forth in article 2. Extradition shall be subject to the other conditions provided by the law of the requested State.<\/p>\n<p>3. States Parties which do not make extradition conditional on the existence of a treaty shall recognize the offences set forth in article 2 as extraditable offences between themselves, subject to the conditions provided by the law of the requested State.<\/p>\n<p>4. If necessary, the offences set forth in article 2 shall be treated, for the purposes of extradition between States Parties, as if they had been committed not only in the place in which they occurred but also in the territory of the States that have established jurisdiction in accordance with article 7, paragraphs 1 and 2.<\/p>\n<p>5. The provisions of all extradition treaties and arrangements between States Parties with regard to offences set forth in article 2 shall be deemed to be modified as between States Parties to the extent that they are incompatible with this Convention.<\/p>\n<p>Article 12<\/p>\n<p>1. States Parties shall afford one another the greatest measure of assistance in connection with criminal investigations or criminal or extradition proceedings in respect of the offences set forth in article 2, including assistance in obtaining evidence in their possession necessary for the proceedings.<\/p>\n<p>2. States Parties may not refuse a request for mutual legal assistance on the ground of bank secrecy.<\/p>\n<p>3. The requesting Party shall not transmit or use information or evidence furnished by the requested Party for investigations, prosecutions or proceedings other than those stated in the request without the prior consent of the requested Party.<\/p>\n<p>4. Each State Party may give consideration to establishing mechanisms to share with other States Parties information or evidence needed to establish criminal, civil or administrative liability pursuant to article 5.<\/p>\n<p>5. States Parties shall carry out their obligations under paragraphs 1 and 2 in conformity with any treaties or other arrangements on mutual legal assistance or information exchange that may exist between them. In the absence of such treaties or arrangements, States Parties shall afford one another assistance in accordance with their domestic law.<\/p>\n<p>Article 13<\/p>\n<p>None of the offences set forth in article 2 shall be regarded, for the purposes of extradition or mutual legal assistance, as a fiscal offence. Accordingly, States Parties may not refuse a request for extradition or for mutual legal assistance on the sole ground that it concerns a fiscal offence.<\/p>\n<p>Article 14<\/p>\n<p>None of the offences set forth in article 2 shall be regarded for the purposes of extradition or mutual legal assistance as a political offence or as an offence connected with a political offence or as an offence inspired by political motives. Accordingly, a request for extradition or for mutual legal assistance based on such an offence may not be refused on the sole ground that it concerns a political offence or an offence connected with a political offence or an offence inspired by political motives.<\/p>\n<p>Article 15<\/p>\n<p>Nothing in this Convention shall be interpreted as imposing an obligation to extradite or to afford mutual legal assistance, if the requested State Party has substantial grounds for believing that the request for extradition for offences set forth in article 2 or for mutual legal assistance with respect to such offences has been made for the purpose of prosecuting or punishing a person on account of that person&#8217;s race, religion, nationality, ethnic origin or political opinion or that compliance with the request would cause prejudice to that person&#8217;s position for any of these reasons.<\/p>\n<p>Article 16<\/p>\n<p>1. A person who is being detained or is serving a sentence in the territory of one State Party whose presence in another State Party is requested for purposes of identification, testimony or otherwise providing assistance in obtaining evidence for the investigation or prosecution of offences set forth in article 2 may be transferred if the following conditions are met:<\/p>\n<p>(a) The person freely gives his or her informed consent;<\/p>\n<p>(b) The competent authorities of both States agree, subject to such conditions as those States may deem appropriate.<\/p>\n<p>2. For the purposes of the present article:<\/p>\n<p>(a) The State to which the person is transferred shall have the authority and obligation to keep the person transferred in custody, unless otherwise requested or authorized by the State from which the person was transferred;<\/p>\n<p>(b) The State to which the person is transferred shall without delay implement its obligation to return the person to the custody of the State from which the person was transferred as agreed beforehand, or as otherwise agreed, by the competent authorities of both States;<\/p>\n<p>(c) The State to which the person is transferred shall not require the State from which the person was transferred to initiate extradition proceedings for the return of the person;<\/p>\n<p>(d) The person transferred shall receive credit for service of the sentence being served in the State from which he or she was transferred for time spent in the custody of the State to which he or she was transferred.<\/p>\n<p>3. Unless the State Party from which a person is to be transferred in accordance with the present article so agrees, that person, whatever his or her nationality, shall not be prosecuted or detained or subjected to any other restriction of his or her personal liberty in the territory of the State to which that person is transferred in respect of acts or convictions anterior to his or her departure from the territory of the State from which such person was transferred.<\/p>\n<p>Article 17<\/p>\n<p>Any person who is taken into custody or regarding whom any other measures are taken or proceedings are carried out pursuant to this Convention shall be guaranteed fair treatment, including enjoyment of all rights and guarantees in conformity with the law of the State in the territory of which that person is present and applicable provisions of international law, including international human rights law.<\/p>\n<p>Article 18<\/p>\n<p>1. States Parties shall cooperate in the prevention of the offences set forth in article 2 by taking all practicable measures, inter alia, by adapting their domestic legislation, if necessary, to prevent and counter preparations in their respective territories for the commission of those offences within or outside their territories, including:<\/p>\n<p>(a) Measures to prohibit in their territories illegal activities of persons and organizations that knowingly encourage, instigate, organize or engage in the commission of offences set forth in article 2;<\/p>\n<p>(b) Measures requiring financial institutions and other professions involved in financial transactions to utilize the most efficient measures available for the identification of their usual or occasional customers, as well as customers in whose interest accounts are opened, and to pay special attention to unusual or suspicious transactions and report transactions suspected of stemming from a criminal activity. For this purpose, States Parties shall consider:<\/p>\n<p>(i) Adopting regulations prohibiting the opening of accounts the holders or beneficiaries of which are unidentified or unidentifiable, and measures to ensure that such institutions verify the identity of the real owners of such transactions;<\/p>\n<p>(ii) With respect to the identification of legal entities, requiring financial institutions, when necessary, to take measures to verify the legal existence and the structure of the customer by obtaining, either from a public register or from the customer or both, proof of incorporation, including information concerning the customer&#8217;s name, legal form, address, directors and provisions regulating the power to bind the entity;<\/p>\n<p>(iii) Adopting regulations imposing on financial institutions the obligation to report promptly to the competent authorities all complex, unusual large transactions and unusual patterns of transactions, which have no apparent economic or obviously lawful purpose, without fear of assuming criminal or civil liability for breach of any restriction on disclosure of information if they report their suspicions in good faith;<\/p>\n<p>(iv) Requiring financial institutions to maintain, for at least five years, all necessary records on transactions, both domestic or international.<\/p>\n<p>2. States Parties shall further cooperate in the prevention of offences set forth in article 2 by considering:<\/p>\n<p>(a) Measures for the supervision, including, for example, the licensing, of all money-transmission agencies;<\/p>\n<p>(b) Feasible measures to detect or monitor the physical cross-border transportation of cash and bearer negotiable instruments, subject to strict safeguards to ensure proper use of information and without impeding in any way the freedom of capital movements.<\/p>\n<p>3. States Parties shall further cooperate in the prevention of the offences set forth in article 2 by exchanging accurate and verified information in accordance with their domestic law and coordinating administrative and other measures taken, as appropriate, to prevent the commission of offences set forth in article 2, in particular by:<\/p>\n<p>(a) Establishing and maintaining channels of communication between their competent agencies and services to facilitate the secure and rapid exchange of information concerning all aspects of offences set forth in article 2;<\/p>\n<p>(b) Cooperating with one another in conducting inquiries, with respect to the offences set forth in article 2, concerning:<\/p>\n<p>(i) The identity, whereabouts and activities of persons in respect of whom reasonable suspicion exists that they are involved in such offences;<\/p>\n<p>(ii) The movement of funds relating to the commission of such offences.<\/p>\n<p>4. States Parties may exchange information through the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol).<\/p>\n<p>Article 19<\/p>\n<p>The State Party where the alleged offender is prosecuted shall, in accordance with its domestic law or applicable procedures, communicate the final outcome of the proceedings to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, who shall transmit the information to the other States Parties.<\/p>\n<p>Article 20<\/p>\n<p>The States Parties shall carry out their obligations under this Convention in a manner consistent with the principles of sovereign equality and territorial integrity of States and that of non-intervention in the domestic affairs of other States.<\/p>\n<p>Article 21<\/p>\n<p>Nothing in this Convention shall affect other rights, obligations and responsibilities of States and individuals under international law, in particular the purposes of the Charter of the United Nations, international humanitarian law and other relevant conventions.<\/p>\n<p>Article 22<\/p>\n<p>Nothing in this Convention entitles a State Party to undertake in the territory of another State Party the exercise of jurisdiction or performance of functions which are exclusively reserved for the authorities of that other State Party by its domestic law.<\/p>\n<p>Article 23<\/p>\n<p>1. The annex may be amended by the addition of relevant treaties that:<\/p>\n<p>(a) Are open to the participation of all States;<\/p>\n<p>(b) Have entered into force;<\/p>\n<p>(c) Have been ratified, accepted, approved or acceded to by at least twenty-two States Parties to the present Convention.<\/p>\n<p>2. After the entry into force of this Convention, any State Party may propose such an amendment. Any proposal for an amendment shall be communicated to the depositary in written form. The depositary shall notify proposals that meet the requirements of paragraph 1 to all States Parties and seek their views on whether the proposed amendment should be adopted.<\/p>\n<p>3. The proposed amendment shall be deemed adopted unless one third of the States Parties object to it by a written notification not later than 180 days after its circulation.<\/p>\n<p>4. The adopted amendment to the annex shall enter into force 30 days after the deposit of the twenty-second instrument of ratification, acceptance or approval of such amendment for all those States Parties that have deposited such an instrument. For each State Party ratifying, accepting or approving the amendment after the deposit of the twenty-second instrument, the amendment shall enter into force on the thirtieth day after deposit by such State Party of its instrument of ratification, acceptance or approval.<\/p>\n<p>Article 24<\/p>\n<p>1. Any dispute between two or more States Parties concerning the interpretation or application of this Convention which cannot be settled through negotiation within a reasonable time shall, at the request of one of them, be submitted to arbitration. If, within six months from the date of the request for arbitration, the parties are unable to agree on the organization of the arbitration, any one of those parties may refer the dispute to the International Court of Justice, by application, in conformity with the Statute of the Court.<\/p>\n<p>2. Each State may at the time of signature, ratification, acceptance or approval of this Convention or accession thereto declare that it does not consider itself bound by paragraph 1. The other States Parties shall not be bound by paragraph 1 with respect to any State Party which has made such a reservation.<\/p>\n<p>3. Any State which has made a reservation in accordance with paragraph 2 may at any time withdraw that reservation by notification to the Secretary-General of the United Nations.<\/p>\n<p>Article 25<\/p>\n<p>1.

For each State ratifying, accepting, approving or acceding to the Convention after the deposit of the twenty-second instrument of ratification, acceptance, approval or accession, the Convention shall enter into force on the thirtieth day after deposit by such State of its instrument of ratification, acceptance, approval or accession.<\/p>\n<p>Article 27<\/p>\n<p>1. Any State Party may denounce this Convention by written notification to the Secretary-General of the United Nations.<\/p>\n<p>2.
