PART ONE - BASIC PROVISIONS

CHAPTER XVIII - MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Article 210 - Special Cases of Prosecution

In the event that a criminal offense was committed abroad, the prosecution may be initiated by the Prosecutor, provided that this criminal offense is envisaged under the law of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

In the event referred to in Paragraph 1 of this Article the Prosecutor shall undertake the criminal prosecution only if the offense committed is prescribed as the criminal offense under the laws of the country in whose territory the criminal offense was committed. Neither in that case shall the prosecution be undertaken, if under the laws of that country the prosecution is to be undertaken only upon the request of the injured party, whereas no such request has been filed by the injured party.

Notwithstanding the laws of the country where the criminal offense was committed, the Prosecutor may undertake the prosecution if such an act is a criminal offense against the integrity of Bosnia and Herzegovina or if that act is considered a criminal offense under the rules of international law.
