This declaration shall cease to have effect as soon as the treaty enters into force for the Party having made such a declaration, which shall notify the Secretary General of the Council of Europe of this entry into force. The purpose of the present Convention is to enhance the efforts of Parties in preventing terrorism and its negative effects on the full enjoyment of human rights, in particular the right to life, both by measures to be taken at national level and through international co-operation, with due regard to the existing applicable multilateral or bilateral treaties or agreements between the Parties. 1) Each Party shall take appropriate measures, particularly in the field of training of law enforcement authorities and other bodies, and in the fields of education, culture, information, media and public awareness raising, with a view to preventing terrorist offences and their negative effects while respecting human rights obligations as set forth in, where applicable to that Party, the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and other obligations under international law. 2) Each Party shall take such measures as may be necessary to improve and develop the co-operation among national authorities with a view to preventing terrorist offences and their negative effects by, inter alia: a) exchanging information; b) improving the physical protection of persons and facilities; c) enhancing training and coordination plans for civil emergencies. 3) Each Party shall promote tolerance by encouraging inter-religious and cross-cultural dialogue involving, where appropriate, non-governmental organisations and other elements of civil society with a view to preventing tensions that might contribute to the commission of terrorist offences. 4) Each Party shall endeavour to promote public awareness regarding the existence, causes and gravity of and the threat posed by terrorist offences and the offences set forth in this Convention and consider encouraging the public to provide factual, specific help to its competent authorities that may contribute to preventing terrorist offences and offences set forth in this Convention. Parties shall, as appropriate and with due regard to their capabilities, assist and support each other with a view to enhancing their capacity to prevent the commission of terrorist offences, including through exchange of information and best practices, as well as through training and other joint efforts of a preventive character. 1) For the purposes of this Convention, “public provocation to commit a terrorist offence” means the distribution, or otherwise making available, of a message to the public, with the intent to incite the commission of a terrorist offence, where such conduct, whether or not directly advocating terrorist offences, causes a danger that one or more such offences may be committed. 2) Each Party shall adopt such measures as may be necessary to establish public provocation to commit a terrorist offence, as defined in paragraph 1, when committed unlawfully and intentionally, as a criminal offence under its domestic law. 1) For the purposes of this Convention, “recruitment for terrorism” means to solicit another person to commit or participate in the commission of a terrorist offence, or to join an association or group, for the purpose of contributing to the commission of one or more terrorist offences by the association or the group. 2) Each Party shall adopt such measures as may be necessary to establish recruitment for terrorism, as defined in paragraph 1, when committed unlawfully and intentionally, as a criminal offence under its domestic law. 1) For the purposes of this Convention, “training for terrorism” means to provide instruction in the making or use of explosives, firearms or other weapons or noxious or hazardous substances, or in other specific methods or techniques, for the purpose of carrying out or contributing to the commission of a terrorist offence, knowing that the skills provided are intended to be used for this purpose. 2) Each Party shall adopt such measures as may be necessary to establish training for terrorism, as defined in paragraph 1, when committed unlawfully and intentionally, as a criminal offence under its domestic law. For an act to constitute an offence as set forth in Articles 5 to 7 of this Convention, it shall not be necessary that a terrorist offence be actually committed. 1) Each Party shall adopt such measures as may be necessary to establish as a criminal offence under its domestic law: a) Participating as an accomplice in an offence as set forth in Articles 5 to 7 of this Convention; b) Organising or directing others to commit an offence as set forth in Articles 5 to 7 of this Convention; c) Contributing to the commission of one or more offences as set forth in Articles 5 to 7 of this Convention by a group of persons acting with a common purpose. Such contribution shall be intentional and shall either: 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 Articles 5 to 7 of this Convention; or ii) be made in the knowledge of the intention of the group to commit an offence as set forth in Articles 5 to 7 of this Convention. 2) Each Party shall also adopt such measures as may be necessary to establish as a criminal offence under, and in accordance with, its domestic law the attempt to commit an offence as set forth in Articles 6 and 7 of this Convention. 1) Each Party shall adopt such measures as may be necessary, in accordance with its legal principles, to establish the liability of legal entities for participation in the offences set forth in Articles 5 to 7 and 9 of this Convention. 2) Subject to the legal principles of the Party, the liability of legal entities may be criminal, civil or administrative. 3) Such liability shall be without prejudice to the criminal liability of the natural persons who have committed the offences. 1) Each Party shall adopt such measures as may be necessary to make the offences set forth in Articles 5 to 7 and 9 of this Convention punishable by effective, proportionate and dissuasive penalties. 2) Previous final convictions pronounced in foreign States for offences set forth in the present Convention may, to the extent permitted by domestic law, be taken into account for the purpose of determining the sentence in accordance with domestic law. 3) Each Party shall ensure that legal entities held liable in accordance with Article 10 are subject to effective, proportionate and dissuasive criminal or non-criminal sanctions, including monetary sanctions. 1) Each Party shall ensure that the establishment, implementation and application of the criminalisation under Articles 5 to 7 and 9 of this Convention are carried out while respecting human rights obligations, in particular the right to freedom of expression, freedom of association and freedom of religion, as set forth in, where applicable to that Party, the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and other obligations under international law. 2) The establishment, implementation and application of the criminalisation under Articles 5 to 7 and 9 of this Convention should furthermore be subject to the principle of proportionality, with respect to the legitimate aims pursued and to their necessity in a democratic society, and should exclude any form of arbitrariness or discriminatory or racist treatment. Each Party shall adopt such measures as may be necessary to protect and support the victims of terrorism that has been committed within its own territory. These measures may include, through the appropriate national schemes and subject to domestic legislation, inter alia, financial assistance and compensation for victims of terrorism and their close family members. 1) Each Party shall take such measures as may be necessary to establish its jurisdiction over the offences set forth in this Convention: a) when the offence is committed in the territory of that Party; b) when the offence is committed on board a ship flying the flag of that Party, or on board an aircraft registered under the laws of that Party; c) when the offence is committed by a national of that Party. 2) Each Party may also establish its jurisdiction over the offences set forth in this Convention: a) when the offence was directed towards or resulted in the carrying out of an offence referred to in Article 1 of this Convention, in the territory of or against a national of that Party; b) when the offence was directed towards or resulted in the carrying out of an offence referred to in Article 1 of this Convention, against a State or government facility of that Party abroad, including diplomatic or consular premises of that Party; c) when the offence was directed towards or resulted in an offence referred to in Article 1 of this Convention, committed in an attempt to compel that Party to do or abstain from doing any act; d) when the offence is committed by a stateless person who has his or her habitual residence in the territory of that Party; e) when the offence is committed on board an aircraft which is operated by the Government of that Party. 3) Each Party shall take such measures as may be necessary to establish its jurisdiction over the offences set forth in this Convention in the case where the alleged offender is present in its territory and it does not extradite him or her to a Party whose jurisdiction is based on a rule of jurisdiction existing equally in the law of the requested Party. 4) This Convention does not exclude any criminal jurisdiction exercised in accordance with national law. 5) When more than one Party claims jurisdiction over an alleged offence set forth in this Convention, the Parties involved shall, where appropriate, consult with a view to determining the most appropriate jurisdiction for prosecution. 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. 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’s presence for the purpose of prosecution or extradition. 3) Any person in respect of whom the measures referred to in paragraph 2 are being taken shall be entitled to: 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’s rights or, if that person is a stateless person, the State in the territory of which that person habitually resides; b) be visited by a representative of that State; c) be informed of that person’s rights under subparagraphs a. and b. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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’s race, religion, nationality, ethnic origin or political opinion or that compliance with the request would cause prejudice to that person’s position for any of these reasons. 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. 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. 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. 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. 3) The Party receiving the information shall be bound by those conditions. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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: – European Convention on Extradition, opened for signature, in Paris, on 13 December 1957 (ETS No. 24); – European Convention on Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters, opened for signature, in Strasbourg, on 20 April 1959 (ETS No. 30); – European Convention on the Suppression of Terrorism, opened for signature, in Strasbourg, on 27 January 1977 (ETS No. 90); – Additional Protocol to the European Convention on Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters, opened for signature in Strasbourg on 17 March 1978 (ETS No. 99); – 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); – Protocol amending the European Convention on the Suppression of Terrorism, opened for signature in Strasbourg on 15 May 2003 (ETS No. 190). 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.

Veljavnost take izjave preneha takoj po začetku veljavnosti mednarodne pogodbe za pogodbenico, ki je dala tako izjavo, in mora o navedenem začetku veljavnosti uradno obvestiti generalnega sekretarja Sveta Evrope. Namen te konvencije je okrepiti prizadevanja pogodbenic pri preprečevanju terorizma in njegovih negativnih vplivov na celovito uživanje človekovih pravic, zlasti pravice do življenja, z ukrepi, ki jih je treba sprejeti na državni ravni in z mednarodnim sodelovanjem ob ustreznem upoštevanju veljavnih večstranskih ali dvostranskih mednarodnih pogodb ali sporazumov med pogodbenicami. 1) Pogodbenica sprejme primerne ukrepe, zlasti za usposabljanje organov odkrivanja in pregona ter drugih organov, za izobraževanje, kulturo, obveščanje, sredstva javnega obveščanja ter večjo javno ozaveščenost zaradi preprečevanja terorističnih kaznivih dejanj in njihovih negativnih učinkov ob obveznostih spoštovanja človekovih pravic, kot so določene v Konvenciji o varstvu človekovih pravic in temeljnih svoboščin, Mednarodnem paktu o državljanskih in političnih pravicah in drugih obveznostih v skladu z mednarodnim pravom, kadar se nanašajo na to pogodbenico. 2) Pogodbenica sprejme ukrepe, ki bi lahko bili potrebni za izboljšanje in razvoj sodelovanja med državnimi organi zaradi preprečevanja terorističnih kaznivih dejanj in njihovih negativnih učinkov, med drugim z: a) izmenjavo podatkov; b) izboljšanjem fizične zaščite oseb in objektov; c) okrepitvijo usposabljanja in usklajevalnih načrtov za civilne izredne razmere. 3) Pogodbenica podpira strpnost s spodbujanjem medverskega in medkulturnega dogovarjanja, ki vključuje, kadar je primerno, nevladne organizacije in druge dele civilne družbe zaradi preprečevanja napetosti, ki bi lahko prispevale k storitvi terorističnih kaznivih dejanj. 4) Pogodbenica si prizadeva spodbujati ozaveščenost javnosti glede obstoja, vzrokov, resnosti in nevarnosti, ki jih povzročajo teroristična kazniva dejanja in kazniva dejanja, opredeljena v tej konvenciji, in razmisli o spodbujanju javnosti glede zagotavljanja dejanske in posebne pomoči pristojnim organom, kar bi lahko pomagalo preprečevati teroristična kazniva dejanja in druga kazniva dejanja, opredeljena v tej konvenciji. Pogodbenice si primerno in ob ustreznem upoštevanju svojih zmogljivosti pomagajo in se medsebojno podpirajo zaradi okrepitve usposobljenosti pri preprečevanju naročila storitve kaznivih terorističnih dejanj, vključno z izmenjavo podatkov in izkušenj, ter tudi z usposabljanjem in drugimi skupnimi preprečevalnimi prizadevanji. 1) V tej konvenciji »javno ščuvanje k storitvi terorističnega kaznivega dejanja« pomeni razširjanje sporočil ali njihovo dajanje na razpolago javnosti na kakšen drug način z namenom spodbujati storitev terorističnega kaznivega dejanja, kadar tako obnašanje, ki neposredno ali posredno zagovarja teroristična kazniva dejanja, povzroča nevarnost morebitne storitve enega ali več kaznivih dejanj. 2) Pogodbenica sprejme vse potrebne ukrepe, da določi javno ščuvanje k storitvi terorističnega kaznivega dejanja, opredeljenega v prejšnjem odstavku, kot kaznivo dejanje po njenem notranjem pravu, če je bilo storjeno nezakonito in naklepno. 1) V tej konvenciji »novačenje za terorizem« pomeni spodbujati drugo osebo k storitvi terorističnega kaznivega dejanja ali udeležbi pri terorističnem kaznivem dejanju ali priključitvi združbi ali skupini zaradi pomoči pri izvedbi enega ali več terorističnih kaznivih dejanj, ki jih stori ta združba ali skupina. 2) Pogodbenica sprejme vse potrebne ukrepe, da določi novačenje za terorizem, opredeljeno v prejšnjem odstavku, kot kaznivo dejanje po njenem notranjem pravu, če je bilo storjeno nezakonito in naklepno. 1) V tej konvenciji »usposabljanje za terorizem« pomeni zagotavljanje navodil za izdelavo ali uporabo razstreliva, strelnega orožja ter drugega orožja in škodljivih in nevarnih snovi ali za uporabo drugih posebnih metod ali tehnologij z namenom storitve ali prispevanja k storitvi terorističnega kaznivega dejanja, ob zavedanju, da je zagotovljeno znanje namenjeno uporabi za ta namen. 2) Pogodbenica sprejme vse potrebne ukrepe, da določi usposabljanje za terorizem, opredeljeno v prvem odstavku, kot kaznivo dejanje po njenem notranjem pravu, če je bilo storjeno nezakonito in naklepno. Da bi se dejanje obravnavalo kot kaznivo dejanje v skladu s 5. do 7. členom konvencije, ni potrebno, da bi bilo teroristično kaznivo dejanje dejansko storjeno. 1) Pogodbenica sprejme vse potrebne ukrepe, da se v notranjem pravu kot kazniva dejanja določijo: a) udeležba pri kaznivih dejanjih iz 5. do 7. člena konvencije; b) organiziranje ali usmerjanje drugih k storitvi kaznivih dejanj iz 5. do 7. člena konvencije; c) prispevanje k storitvi enega ali več kaznivih dejanj iz 5. do 7. člena konvencije, ki jih stori skupina, ki deluje s skupnim namenom. Tak prispevek je naklepen in ima namen: i) s ciljem podpirati kaznivo dejavnost ali kazniv namen skupine, če taka dejavnost ali namen vključuje storitev kaznivega dejanja iz 5. do 7. člena konvencije, ali ii) z zavedanjem, da je namen skupine storiti kaznivo dejanje iz 5. do 7. člena konvencije. 2) Pogodbenica sprejme vse potrebne ukrepe, da se v skladu z njenim notranjim pravom kot kaznivo dejanje določi poskus storitve kaznivega dejanja iz 6. in 7. člena konvencije. 1) Pogodbenica sprejme vse potrebne ukrepe, da se v skladu z njenimi pravnimi načeli določi odgovornost pravnih oseb za sodelovanje pri storitvi kaznivih dejanj iz 5. do 7. in 9. člena konvencije. 2) Ob upoštevanju pravnih načel pogodbenice je lahko odgovornost pravnih oseb kazenska, civilna ali upravna. 3) Taka odgovornost ne vpliva na kazensko odgovornost fizičnih oseb, ki so storile kazniva dejanja. 1) Pogodbenica sprejme vse potrebne ukrepe, da se za kazniva dejanja iz 5. do 7. in 9. člena konvencije določijo učinkovite, sorazmerne in odvračilne kazni. 2) Predhodne pravnomočne obsodbe, izrečene v tujih državah za kazniva dejanja na podlagi te konvencije, se lahko v mejah, ki jih dovoljuje notranje pravo, upoštevajo zaradi določitve kazni v skladu z njo. 3) Pogodbenica zagotovi, da se pravnim osebam, ki se po 10. členu štejejo za odgovorne, izrečejo učinkovite, sorazmerne in odvračilne kazenske ali nekazenske sankcije, vključno z denarnimi kaznimi. 1) Pogodbenica zagotovi, da se kaznivost iz 5. do 7. in 9. člena konvencije določa, uveljavlja in uporablja ob spoštovanju človekovih pravic, zlasti pravice do svobode izražanja, svobode združevanja in svobode veroizpovedi, kot so opredeljene v Konvenciji o varstvu človekovih pravic in temeljnih svoboščin, Mednarodnem paktu o državljanskih in političnih pravicah in drugih obveznostih v skladu z mednarodnim pravom, kadar se nanašajo na to pogodbenico. 2) Določitev, uveljavitev in uporaba kaznivosti v skladu s 5. do 7. in 9. členom konvencije bi morale poleg tega temeljiti na načelu sorazmernosti ob upoštevanju prizadevanja za zakonite cilje in njihove nujnosti v demokratični družbi ter izključevati kakršno koli obliko samovolje ali diskriminacijskega ali rasističnega obravnavanja. Pogodbenica sprejme vse potrebne ukrepe za varovanje in podporo žrtvam terorističnih dejanj, storjenih na njenem ozemlju. Ti ukrepi lahko s primernimi državnimi programi in ob upoštevanju notranje zakonodaje med drugim vključujejo finančno pomoč in nadomestilo za žrtve terorizma ter njihove bližnje družinske člane. 1) Pogodbenica sprejme vse potrebne ukrepe za določitev svoje jurisdikcije za kazniva dejanja, opredeljena v tej konvenciji: a) če je kaznivo dejanje storjeno na ozemlju posamezne pogodbenice; b) če je kaznivo dejanje storjeno na ladji, ki plove pod zastavo te pogodbenice, ali v letalu, registriranem po pravu te pogodbenice; c) če kaznivo dejanje stori državljan te pogodbenice. 2) Prav tako lahko pogodbenica določi svojo jurisdikcijo za kazniva dejanja, opredeljena v tej konvenciji: a) če je bilo kaznivo dejanje namenjeno storitvi ali je bila posledica kaznivega dejanja storitev kaznivega dejanja iz 1. člena konvencije na ozemlju te pogodbenice ali proti njenemu državljanu; b) če je bilo kaznivo dejanje namenjeno storitvi ali je bila posledica kaznivega dejanja storitev kaznivega dejanja iz 1. člena konvencije proti državi ali vladnemu objektu te pogodbenice v tujini, vključno z diplomatskimi ali konzularnimi prostori te pogodbenice; c) če je bilo kaznivo dejanje namenjeno storitvi ali je bila posledica kaznivega dejanja storitev kaznivega dejanja iz 1. člena te konvencije in storjeno v prizadevanju prisiliti pogodbenico, da nekaj stori ali opusti; d) če kaznivo dejanje stori oseba brez državljanstva, ki ima običajno prebivališče na ozemlju te pogodbenice; e) če je kaznivo dejanje storjeno v letalu vlade pogodbenice. 3) Pogodbenica sprejme vse potrebne ukrepe zaradi vzpostavitve svoje jurisdikcije za kazniva dejanja iz te konvencije, če je domnevni storilec na njenem ozemlju in ga ne izroči pogodbenici, katere jurisdikcija temelji na enakih določbah glede jurisdikcije, kot so tiste po pravu zaprošene pogodbenice. 4) Konvencija ne izključuje kazenske jurisdikcije, ki se izvaja v skladu z notranjim pravom. 5) Če več pogodbenic uveljavlja jurisdikcijo za domnevno kaznivo dejanje iz te konvencije, se udeležene pogodbenice, kadar je to primerno, posvetujejo zaradi določitve najprimernejše jurisdikcije za kazenski pregon. 1) Ob prejemu informacije, da bi lahko bila oseba, ki je storila ali domnevno storila kaznivo dejanje, opredeljeno v tej konvenciji, na njenem ozemlju, sprejme pogodbenica vse potrebne ukrepe v skladu z notranjim pravom zaradi preiskave dejstev iz informacije. 2) Ko so okoliščine utemeljene, sprejme pogodbenica, na ozemlju katere je storilec ali domnevni storilec kaznivega dejanja, primerne ukrepe v skladu z notranjim pravom, da bi s tem zagotovila prisotnost osebe zaradi kazenskega pregona ali izročitve. 3) Oseba je glede ukrepov iz prejšnjega odstavka, ki se nanašajo nanjo, upravičena do: a) takojšnje vzpostavitve stika z najbližjim primernim predstavnikom države, katere državljan je, ali države, ki je sicer upravičena, da varuje pravice te osebe, če pa je oseba brez državljanstva, države, na ozemlju katere oseba običajno prebiva; b) obiskov predstavnika te države; c) seznanitve s pravicami v skladu s prejšnjima pododstavkoma. 4) Pravice iz tretjega odstavka se uveljavljajo v skladu z zakoni in drugimi predpisi pogodbenice, na ozemlju katere je storilec ali domnevni storilec kaznivega dejanja, ob upoštevanju določb, da morajo omenjeni zakoni omogočati popolno učinkovitost namenom, za katere se priznavajo pravice v skladu s prejšnjim odstavkom. 5) Določbe tretjega in četrtega odstavka ne vplivajo na pravico pogodbenice, ki uveljavlja jurisdikcijo v skladu s pododstavkom c prvega odstavka in pododstavkom d drugega odstavka 14. člena, da povabi Mednarodni odbor Rdečega križa, naj vzpostavi stike z domnevnim storilcem kaznivega dejanja in ga tudi obišče. Konvencija se ne uporablja, če je bilo kaznivo dejanje iz 5. do 7. in 9. člena, storjeno v eni državi, če je domnevni storilec kaznivega dejanja državljan te države in je v tej državi in nobena druga država nima v skladu s prvim in drugim odstavkom 14. člena te konvencije pravice izvajati jurisdikcije, če se za take primere, kadar je to primerno, uporabljajo določbe 17. in 20. do 22. člena konvencije. 1) Pogodbenice si pomagajo pri preiskavi kaznivega dejanja ter v zvezi s kazenskimi ali izročitvenimi postopki glede kaznivih dejanj iz 5. do 7. in 9. člena konvencije, vključno s pomočjo pri pridobivanju dokazov, ki so v njihovi lasti, potrebnih za postopke. 2) Pogodbenice uresničujejo svoje obveznosti iz prejšnjega odstavka v skladu s pogodbami ali drugimi sporazumi o vzajemni pravni pomoči, ki so jih morebiti sklenile. Kadar ni takih pogodb ali sporazumov, si pogodbenice pomagajo v skladu s svojim notranjim pravom. 3) Pogodbenice čim bolj sodelujejo v skladu z veljavnim pravom, pogodbami, sporazumi in dogovori zaprošene pogodbenice glede kazenske preiskave ali postopkov v zvezi s kaznivimi dejanji, za katere bi lahko bila odgovorna pravna oseba v skladu z 10. členom konvencije na ozemlju pogodbenice prosilke. 4) Pogodbenica lahko preuči možnost za vzpostavitev dodatnih ukrepov zaradi izmenjave informacij ali dokazov z drugimi pogodbenicami, ki so potrebni za ugotovitev kazenske, civilne ali upravne odgovornosti v skladu z 10. členom. 1) Pogodbenica, na ozemlju katere je domnevni storilec kaznivega dejanja in ima jurisdikcijo v skladu s 14. členom, a ne izroči osebe, mora brez kakršne koli izjeme in ne glede na to, ali je bilo kaznivo dejanje storjeno na njenem ozemlju ali ne, predložiti primer brez neprimernega zavlačevanja svojim pristojnim organom zaradi kazenskega pregona po postopkih po pravu te pogodbenice. Omenjeni organi ukrepajo tako kot pri katerem koli težjem kaznivem dejanju po pravu te pogodbenice. 2) Če je pogodbenici dovoljeno, da v skladu z notranjim pravom izroči ali drugače preda enega od svojih državljanov le pod pogojem, da se oseba vrne tej pogodbenici zaradi prestajanja kazni, izrečene kot posledica sodne obravnave ali postopka zaradi zaprosila za izročitev ali predajo osebe in se ta pogodbenica in pogodbenica, ki skuša doseči izročitev, strinjata s to možnostjo in drugimi primernimi pogoji, je taka izročitev ali predaja zadosten razlog za opustitev obveznosti, opredeljene v prejšnjem odstavku. 1) Za kazniva dejanja iz 5. do 7. in 9. člena konvencije se šteje, da so vključena v vsako pogodbo o izročitvi, ki velja za katero koli pogodbenico pred začetkom veljavnosti te konvencije, kot kazniva dejanja, za katera se dovoli izročitev. Pogodbenice se zavezujejo, da bodo vključile ta kazniva dejanja v vsako pogodbo o izročitvi, ki jo sklenejo pozneje. 2) Če pogodbenica, ki izročitev pogojuje z obstojem pogodbe, prejme prošnjo za izročitev od pogodbenice, s katero nima sklenjene pogodbe o izročitvi, lahko zaprošena pogodbenica, če tako sklene, šteje to konvencijo kot pravno podlago za izročitev zaradi kaznivih dejanj iz 5. do 7. in 9. člena konvencije. Za izročitev veljajo drugi pogoji po pravu zaprošene pogodbenice. 3) Pogodbenice, ki izročitve ne pogojujejo z obstojem pogodbe, štejejo kazniva dejanja iz 5. do 7. in 9. člena te konvencije kot kazniva dejanja, zaradi katerih se med njimi dovoli izročitev ob upoštevanju pogojev, določenih z zakonodajo zaprošene pogodbenice. 4) Kadar je potrebno, se kazniva dejanja iz 5. do 7. in 9. člena konvencije zaradi izročitve med pogodbenicami obravnavajo, kot da bi bila storjena ne le v kraju, v katerem so se zgodila, ampak tudi na ozemlju pogodbenic, ki so določile jurisdikcijo v skladu s 14. členom. 5) Za določbe vseh pogodb in sporazumov o izročitvah, sklenjenih med pogodbenicami glede kaznivih dejanj iz 5. do 7. in 9. člena konvencije, se šteje, da so jih pogodbenice spremenile, če niso združljive s konvencijo. 1) Nobeno kaznivo dejanje iz 5. do 7. in 9. člena konvencije se zaradi izročitve ali medsebojne pravne pomoči ne obravnava kot politično kaznivo dejanje, kot kaznivo dejanje, povezano s političnim kaznivim dejanjem, ali kot kaznivo dejanje, spodbujeno iz političnih razlogov. Zaradi tega se prošnja za izročitev ali medsebojno pravno pomoč, ki temelji na takem kaznivem dejanju, ne sme zavrniti le zato, ker se nanaša na politično kaznivo dejanje ali kaznivo dejanje, povezano s političnim kaznivim dejanjem, ali kaznivo dejanje, spodbujeno iz političnih razlogov. 2) Ne glede na uporabo 19. do 23. člena Dunajske konvencije o pravu mednarodnih pogodb z dne 23. maja 1969 v zvezi z drugimi členi konvencije, lahko vsaka država ali Evropska skupnost ob podpisu ali deponiranju listine o ratifikaciji, sprejetju, odobritvi ali pristopu h konvenciji izjavi, da si pridržuje pravico do neuporabe prejšnjega odstavka tega člena, če gre za izročitev zaradi kaznivega dejanja po tej konvenciji. Pogodbenica se zavezuje, da bo tak pridržek uporabljala za vsak primer posebej na podlagi ustrezno utemeljene odločbe. 3) Pogodbenica lahko v celoti ali delno umakne pridržek, ki ga je dala v skladu s prejšnjim odstavkom, z izjavo, naslovljeno na generalnega sekretarja Sveta Evrope, ki začne veljati z dnem prejema. 4) Pogodbenica, ki je dala pridržek v skladu z drugim odstavkom tega člena, ne more zahtevati, da pogodbenica uporablja prvi odstavek tega člena; če pa je njen pridržek delen ali pogojen, lahko zahteva uporabo tega člena v obsegu, ki ga je sprejela sama. 5) Pridržek pogodbenice velja tri leta od dne začetka veljavnosti te konvencije. Pridržek se lahko obnavlja za enako obdobje. 6) Generalni sekretar Sveta Evrope dvanajst mesecev pred potekom veljavnosti pridržka o tem obvesti pogodbenico. Najpozneje tri mesece pred potekom veljavnosti pogodbenica obvesti generalnega sekretarja Sveta Evrope o ohranitvi, spremembi ali umiku pridržka. Če pogodbenica obvesti generalnega sekretarja Sveta Evrope, da ohranja pridržek, pošlje obrazložitev razlogov, ki opravičujejo nadaljnji obstoj pridržka. Če pogodbenica uradnega obvestila ni poslala, obvesti generalni sekretar Sveta Evrope pogodbenico, da se njen pridržek samodejno podaljša za šest mesecev. Če pogodbenica ne pošlje uradnega obvestila o namenu, da ohrani ali spremeni svoj pridržek pred potekom veljavnosti tega obdobja, pridržek preneha veljati. 7) Če pogodbenica ob uporabi tega pridržka osebe po prejemu prošnje za izročitev ne izroči drugi pogodbenici, predloži primer brez kakršne koli izjeme in brez nepotrebnega odlašanja svojim pristojnim organom zaradi kazenskega pregona, razen če se pogodbenica prosilka in zaprošena pogodbenica ne dogovorita drugače. Pristojni organi se odločijo o kazenskem pregonu na ozemlju zaprošene pogodbenice enako kot ob katerem koli težjem kaznivem dejanju po pravu pogodbenice. Zaprošena pogodbenica brez nepotrebnega odlašanja sporoči dokončen izid postopka pogodbenici prosilki in generalnemu sekretarju Sveta Evrope, ki ga pošlje Posvetovanju pogodbenic, ki ga določa 30. člen. 8) Odločitev o zavrnitvi izročitve na podlagi tega pridržka se nemudoma pošlje pogodbenici prosilki. Če zaprošena pogodbenica v skladu s sedmim odstavkom v razumnem roku ne sprejme nobene vsebinske sodne odločitve, lahko pogodbenica prosilka to sporoči generalnemu sekretarju Sveta Evrope, ki predloži zadevo Posvetovanju pogodbenic, ki ga določa 30. člen.
