Résumé

Objective: To take effective measures to ensure that the perpetrators of environmental violations do not escape prosecution and punishment and to foster international cooperation to this end.

Summary of provisions: Each Party undertakes to establish certain offences as criminal under its domestic law including inter alia the introduction of substances or ionising radiation into air, soil, or water causing, or likely to cause, their lasting deterioration, death or serious injury to any person, or substantial damage to protected other protected objects, animals or plants (art. 2.1 and 3.1). Each Party is to establish jurisdiction over such criminal offences when it is committed in its territory, on board a ship or an aircraft registered in it or by one its nationals under certain conditions (art.5.1). Furthermore, Parties are to make the above mentioned offences punishable by criminal sanctions, including imprisonment, pecuniary sanctions and possibly reinstatement of the environment (art. 6- 8). Article 9 specifies the conditions under which corporate liability may be invoked. Finally, each Party may declare that it will grant any group, foundation or association which according to its statutes aims at the protection of the environment, the right to participate in criminal proceedings concerning offences established in accordance with this Convention (art. 11). Parties agree to afford each other the widest measure of cooperation in investigations and judicial proceeding (art. 12).
