Defines "political bribery", for the purposes of this resolution, as participating, whether directly or indirectly, in the provision of anything of value, including but not limited to money, goods, or services, to: a. an individual or entity performing public duties in a member state or its subdivisions, in order to influence the individual or entity to act in a manner contrary to their public duties, or b. an official of the government of, an official of a political party in, or a candidate for political office in a member state or its subdivisions, in order to: i. influence any action of that official or candidate taken when acting in their present or future official capacity, or ii. influence the official or candidate to in turn influence any action of the government of their member state or its subdivisions; 2. Prohibits member states from engaging in political bribery in any other member state, except where the member state is explicitly permitted to do so by the laws or regulations of that other member state; 3. Requires member states to prohibit any individual or entity subject to the jurisdiction of a member state, including but not limited to: a. residents, nationals, and citizens of the member state, and b. businesses and other organizations incorporated in, based in, operating in, or otherwise associated with the member state, from engaging in political bribery in any other member state, except where the individual or entity is explicitly permitted to do so by the laws or regulations of that other member state; 4. Urges member states to take particular care to enforce the provisions of this resolution against individuals and businesses under their jurisdiction who engage in political bribery in a target member state in order to obtain or maintain business in that target member state; 5. Clarifies that nothing in this resolution affects the regulation of purely domestic political bribery; 6. Further clarifies that nothing in this resolution prohibits member states from taking any action required to protect vital national security interests during serious international disputes or times of war.
