Abstract
Traditionally the application of national criminal law is limited to national territory. According to the territorial principle — which takes a central place in most jurisdictions — the active corruption of national officials or public officers, provided it is committed on national territory, can give rise to prosecution, irrespective of the question whether the offender is a national or a foreigner. As for acts of passive corruption committed on national territory the same principle applies: as a rule, prosecution of the corrupted national official will be possible by virtue of the national provisions concerning criminal proceedings and the determination of the competent court.
