Each State Party shall make the offences set forth in article 3 punishable by appropriate penalties which take into account the grave nature of those offences. 1 Each State Party shall take such measures as may be necessary to establish its jurisdiction over the offences set forth in article 3 when the offence is committed: (a) against or on board a ship flying the flag of the State at the time the offence is committed; or (b) in the territory of that State, including its territorial sea; or (c) by a national of that State. 2 A State Party may also establish its jurisdiction over any such offence when: (a) it is committed by a stateless person whose habitual residence is in that State; or (b) during its commission a national of that State is seized, threatened, injured or killed; or (c) it is committed in an attempt to compel that State to do or abstain from doing any act. 3 Any State Party which has established jurisdiction mentioned in paragraph 2 shall notify the Secretary-General of the International Maritime Organization (hereinafter referred to as the Secretary-General). If such State Party subsequently rescinds that jurisdiction, it shall notify the Secretary-General. 4 Each State Party shall take such measures as may be necessary to establish its jurisdiction over the offences set forth in article 3 in cases where the alleged offender is present in its territory and it does not extradite him to any of the States Parties which have established their jurisdiction in accordance with paragraphs 1 and 2 of this article. 5 This Convention does not exclude any criminal jurisdiction exercised in accordance with national law. 1 Upon being satisfied that the circumstances so warrant, any State Party in the territory of which the offender or the alleged offender is present shall, in accordance with its law, take him into custody or take other measures to ensure his presence for such time as is necessary to enable any criminal or extradition proceedings to be instituted. 2 Such State shall immediately make a preliminary inquiry into the facts, in accordance with its own legislation. 3 Any person regarding whom the measures referred to in paragraph 1 are being taken shall be entitled to: (a) communicate without delay with the nearest appropriate representative of the State of which he is a national or which is otherwise entitled to establish such communication or, if he is a stateless person, the State in the territory of which he has his habitual residence; (b) be visited by a representative of that State. 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 the alleged offender is present, subject to the proviso 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. 5 When a State Party, pursuant to this article, has taken a person into custody, it shall immediately notify the States which have established jurisdiction in accordance with article 6, paragraph 1 and, if it considers it advisable, any other interested States, of the fact that such person is in custody and of the circumstances which warrant his detention. The State which makes the preliminary inquiry contemplated in paragraph 2 of this article shall promptly report its findings to the said States and shall indicate whether it intends to exercise jurisdiction. 1 The master of a ship of a State Party (the flag State) may deliver to the authorities of any other State Party (the receiving State) any person who he has reasonable grounds to believe has committed one of the offences set forth in article 3. 2 The flag State shall ensure that the master of its ship is obliged, whenever practicable, and if possible before entering the territorial sea of the receiving State carrying on board any person whom the master intends to deliver in accordance with paragraph 1, to give notification to the authorities of the receiving State of his intention to deliver such person and the reasons therefor. 3 The receiving State shall accept the delivery, except where it has grounds to consider that the Convention is not applicable to the acts giving rise to the delivery, and shall proceed in accordance with the provisions of article 7. Any refusal to accept a delivery shall be accompanied by a statement of the reasons for refusal. 4 The flag State shall ensure that the master of its ship is obliged to furnish the authorities of the receiving State with the evidence in the master’s possession which pertains to the alleged offence. 5 A receiving State which has accepted the delivery of a person in accordance with paragraph 3 may, in turn, request the flag State to accept delivery of that person. The flag State shall consider any such request, and if it accedes to the request it shall proceed in accordance with article 7. If the flag State declines a request, it shall furnish the receiving State with a statement of the reasons therefor. Nothing in this Convention shall affect in any way the rules of international law pertaining to the competence of States to exercise investigative or enforcement jurisdiction on board ships not flying their flag. 1 The State Party in the territory of which the offender or the alleged offender is found shall, in cases to which article 6 applies, if it does not extradite him, be obliged, without exception whatsoever and whether or not the offence was committed in its territory, to submit the case without 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. 2 Any person regarding whom proceedings are being carried out in connection with any of the offences set forth in article 3 shall be guaranteed fair treatment at all stages of the proceedings, including enjoyment of all the rights and guarantees provided for such proceedings by the law of the State in the territory of which he is present. 1 The offences set forth in article 3 shall be deemed to be included as extraditable offences in any extradition treaty existing between any of the States Parties. States Parties undertake to include such offences as extraditable offences in every extradition treaty to be concluded between them. 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 Party may, at its option, consider this Convention as a legal basis for extradition in respect of the offences set forth in article 3. Extradition shall be subject to the other conditions provided by the law of the requested State Party. 3 States Parties which do not make extradition conditional on the existence of a treaty shall recognize the offences set forth in article 3 as extraditable offences between themselves, subject to the conditions provided by the law of the requested State 4 If necessary, the offences set forth in article 3 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 a place within the jurisdiction of the State Party requesting extradition. 5 A State Party which receives more than one request for extradition from States which have established jurisdiction in accordance with article 6 and which decides not to prosecute shall, in selecting the State to which the offender or alleged offender is to be extradited, pay due regard to the interests and responsibilities of the State Party whose flag the ship was flying at the time of the commission of the offence. 6 In considering a request for the extradition of an alleged offender pursuant to this Convention, the requested State shall pay due regard to whether his rights as set forth in article 7, paragraph 3, can be effected in the requesting State. 7 With respect to the offences as defined in this Convention, the provisions of all extradition treaties and arrangements applicable between States Parties are modified as between States Parties to the extent that they are incompatible with this Convention. 1 State Parties shall afford one another the greatest measure of assistance in connection with criminal proceedings brought in respect of the offences set forth in article 3, including assistance in obtaining evidence at their disposal necessary for the proceedings. 2 States Parties shall carry out their obligations under paragraph 1 in conformity with any treaties on mutual assistance that may exist between them. In the absence of such treaties, States Parties shall afford each other assistance in accordance with their national law. 1 States Parties shall co-operate in the prevention of the offences set forth in article 3, particularly by: (a) taking all practicable measures to prevent preparations in their respective territories for the commission of those offences within or outside their territories; (b) exchanging information in accordance with their national law, and co-ordinating administrative and other measures taken as appropriate to prevent the commission of offences set forth in article 3. 2 When, due to the commission of an offence set forth in article 3, the passage of a ship has been delayed or interrupted, any State Party in whose territory the ship or passengers or crew are present shall be bound to exercise all possible efforts to avoid a ship, its passengers, crew or cargo being unduly detained or delayed. Any State Party having reason to believe that an offence set forth in article 3 will be committed shall, in accordance with its national law, furnish as promptly as possible any relevant information in its possession to those States which it believes would be the States having established jurisdiction in accordance with article 6. 1.

1. Poveljnik ladje države pogodbenice (“država zastave“) lahko organom katere koli države pogodbenice (“država sprejemnica“) preda katero koli osebo, za katero ima utemeljen razlog, da je storila eno od kaznivih dejanj iz 3. člena. 2. Država zastave zagotovi, da je poveljnik njene ladje dolžan, če je to izvedljivo in če je mogoče pred vplutjem v teritorialno morje države sprejemnice, ki ima na krovu osebo, ki jo poveljnik namerava predati v skladu s prvim odstavkom, uradno obvestiti organe države sprejemnice o svoji nameri, da preda tako osebo, in razlogih za predajo. 3. Država sprejemnica sprejme predajo, razen če ima razlog, da šteje, da se konvencija ne uporablja za dejanja, ki so razlog za predajo, in nadalje ravna v skladu z določbami 7. člena. Vsako zavrnitev sprejetja predaje spremlja izjava z obrazložitvijo zavrnitve. 4. Država zastave zagotovi, da je poveljnik njene ladje dolžan organom države sprejemnice priskrbeti dokaz v poveljnikovi posesti, ki se nanaša na domnevno kaznivo dejanje. 5. Država sprejemnica, ki je sprejela predajo osebe v skladu s tretjim odstavkom, lahko zato zaprosi državo zastave, da sprejme predajo te osebe. Država zastave vsako tako zahtevo obravnava in če zahtevi ugodi, nadalje ravna v skladu s 7. členom. Če država zastave zahtevi ne ugodi, državi sprejemnici da izjavo z obrazložitvijo.

Nobena določba te konvencije na noben način ne vpliva na pravila mednarodnega prava, ki se nanašajo na pristojnost držav izvajati preiskovalno ali izvrševalno jurisdikcijo na ladjah, ki ne plovejo pod njihovo zastavo.

1. Država pogodbenica, na ozemlju katere so našli storilca ali domnevnega storilca, je v primerih, za katere se uporablja 6. člen, če ga ne izroči, dolžna brez izjeme in ne glede na to, ali je bilo kaznivo dejanje storjeno na njenem ozemlju, primer brez odlašanja predložiti svojim pristojnim organom zaradi kazenskega pregona s postopki v skladu z zakonodajo te države. Ti organi odločajo na enak način kot pri katerem koli drugem težjem kaznivem dejanju po zakonodaji te države. 2. Osebi, v zvezi s katero se izvajajo postopki glede katerega koli kaznivega dejanja iz 3. člena, se zagotovi pravična obravnava na vseh stopnjah postopkov, vključno z uživanjem vseh pravic in jamstev, ki jih pri takih postopkih predvideva zakonodaja države, na ozemlju katere je.

1. Kazniva dejanja iz 3. člena se štejejo za kazniva dejanja, za katera se lahko zahteva izročitev, v vsaki pogodbi o izročitvi med državama pogodbenicama. Države pogodbenice se zavezujejo, da vsa taka kazniva dejanja vključijo med kazniva dejanja, za katera se lahko zahteva izročitev, v vsaki pogodbi o izročitvi, ki jo sklenejo med seboj. 2. Če država pogodbenica, ki kot pogoj za izročitev postavlja obstoj pogodbe, prejme zahtevo za izročitev od druge države pogodbenice, s katero nima sklenjene pogodbe o izročitvi, lahko zaprošena država pogodbenica po lastni izbiri šteje to konvencijo za pravno podlago za izročitev v zvezi s kaznivimi dejanji iz 3. člena. Pri izročitvi je treba upoštevati druge pogoje, ki jih določa zakonodaja zaprošene države pogodbenice. 3. Države pogodbenice, ki kot pogoj za izročitev ne postavljajo obstoja pogodbe, med seboj priznajo kazniva dejanja iz 3. člena za kazniva dejanja, za katera se lahko zahteva izročitev, ob upoštevanju pogojev, ki jih določa zakonodaja zaprošene države. 4. Po potrebi se kazniva dejanja iz 3. člena obravnavajo za namene izročitve med državami pogodbenicami, kot da so bila storjena ne le na kraju, na katerem je do njih prišlo, temveč tudi na kraju pod jurisdikcijo države pogodbenice, ki zahteva izročitev. 5. Država pogodbenica, ki prejme več kot eno zahtevo za izročitev iz držav, ki so vzpostavile jurisdikcijo v skladu s 6. členom, in se ne odloči za kazenski pregon, je pri izbiri države, ki naj bi ji bil izročen storilec ali domnevni storilec, dolžna upoštevati interese in odgovornost države pogodbenice, pod katere zastavo je ladja plula, ko je bilo storjeno kaznivo dejanje. 6. Pri obravnavanju zahteve za izročitev domnevnega storilca na podlagi te konvencije je zaprošena država dolžna upoštevati, ali se njegove pravice iz tretjega odstavka 7. člena lahko uresničijo v državi prosilki. 7. Glede kaznivih dejanj, kot so opredeljena v tej konvenciji, se določbe vseh pogodb in dogovorov o izročitvi, ki se uporabljajo med državami pogodbenicami, spremenijo med njimi, če so nezdružljive s to konvencijo.

1. Države pogodbenice si medsebojno zagotovijo največjo pomoč v zvezi s kazenskimi postopki zaradi kaznivih dejanj iz 3. člena, vključno s pomočjo pri zbiranju dokazov, ki so jim na voljo in so potrebni za postopke. 2. Države pogodbenice izvajajo svoje obveznosti po prvem odstavku v skladu s katero koli pogodbo o vzajemni pomoči, ki obstaja med njimi. Če takih pogodb ni, si države pogodbenice medsebojno pomagajo v skladu s svojo notranjo zakonodajo.

1. Države pogodbenice sodelujejo pri preprečevanju kaznivih dejanj iz 3. člena, še posebej tako da: a. sprejemajo vse izvedljive ukrepe, da preprečijo priprave na svojem ozemlju na storitev takih kaznivih dejanj na svojem ozemlju ali zunaj njega; b. izmenjujejo informacije v skladu s svojo notranjo zakonodajo in usklajujejo upravne in druge ukrepe, ki se sprejmejo kot ustrezni za preprečitev storitve kaznivih dejanj iz 3. člena. 2. Kadar je bil zaradi storitve kaznivega dejanja iz 3. člena prehod ladje zamujen ali prekinjen, je katera koli država pogodbenica, na katere ozemlju je ladja ali so potniki ali posadka, zavezana, da stori vse potrebno, da ladja, njeni potniki, posadka ali tovor niso neupravičeno zadržani ali imajo zamudo.

Država pogodbenica, ki utemeljeno verjame, da bo storjeno kaznivo dejanje iz 3. člena, v skladu s svojo notranjo zakonodajo čim prej priskrbi vse pomembne informacije, ki so v njeni posesti, tistim državam, za katere meni, da so države z vzpostavljeno jurisdikcijo v skladu s 6. členom.

1. Država pogodbenica v skladu s svojo notranjo zakonodajo generalnemu sekretarju čim prej zagotovi vse pomembne informacije, ki so v njeni posesti, o: a. okoliščinah kaznivega dejanja; b. ukrepanju na podlagi drugega odstavka 13. člena; c. sprejetih ukrepih v zvezi s storilcem ali domnevnim storilcem in predvsem izidih postopkov za izročitev ali drugih pravnih postopkov. 2. Država pogodbenica, ki kazensko preganja domnevnega storilca v skladu s svojo notranjo zakonodajo, obvesti generalnega sekretarja o končnem izidu postopka. 3. Informacije, ki se pošiljajo v skladu s prvim in drugim odstavkom, generalni sekretar sporoči vsem državam pogodbenicam, vsem članicam Mednarodne pomorske organizacije (v nadaljevanju “organizacija“), drugim zadevnim državam in ustreznim mednarodnim medvladnim organizacijam.

1. Spori med dvema ali več državami pogodbenicami o razlagi ali uporabi te konvencije, ki jih v razumnem roku ni mogoče rešiti s pogajanji, se na zahtevo ene od njih predložijo v arbitražo. Če se stranki v šestih mesecih od dneva zahteve za arbitražo ne morejo sporazumeti o organizaciji arbitraže, lahko katera koli od teh strank spor z zahtevo predloži Meddržavnemu sodišču v skladu s Statutom sodišča. 2. Vsaka država lahko ob podpisu ali ratifikaciji, sprejetju ali odobritvi te konvencije ali pristopu k njej izjavi, da je ne zavezuje katera koli določba ali vse določbe prvega odstavka. Te določbe ne zavezujejo drugih držav pogodbenic glede katere koli države pogodbenice s takim pridržkom. 3. Država s pridržkom v skladu z drugim odstavkom lahko ta pridržek kadar koli umakne, tako da o tem uradno obvesti generalnega sekretarja.
