Subject to its Constitution and the fundamental
principles of its legal system, each State Party shall prohibit and
punish the offering or granting, directly or indirectly, by its nationals,
persons having their habitual residence in its territory, and businesses
domiciled there, to a government official of another State, of any
article of monetary value, or other benefit, such as a gift, favor,
promise or advantage, in connection with any economic or commercial
transaction in exchange for any act or omission in the performance
of that official's public functions.
Among those States Parties that have established transnational bribery
as an offense, such offense shall be considered an act of corruption
for the purposes of this Convention. Any State Party that has not
established transnational bribery as an offense shall, insofar as
its laws permit, provide assistance and cooperation with respect to
this offense as provided in this Convention. (See Transnational
Bribery)
