Section II
Territorial Competence

Art. 31 - The offences committed outside the country are tried, according to the case, by the civil or military courts in whose territorial area the perpetrator lives or has the domicile. If the latter neither lives, nor has the domicile, in Romania, and the deed falls under the competence of the first instance court, it is tried by the Court of First Instance of sector 2, and in the other cases, by the competent court, according to the matter and quality of the person, of Bucharest, in case the law does not stipulate otherwise.

The offence committed on a ship falls under the competence of the court in whose territorial area the first Romanian port where the ship anchors is located, in case the law does not stipulate otherwise.
The offence committed on an airship falls under the competence of the court in whose territorial area the first landing place on Romanian territory is located.

If the ship does not anchor in a Romanian port or the airship does not land on Romanian territory, the competence is that stipulated by paragraph 1, in case the law does not stipulate otherwise.
