About this statute

The Parties agree to punish anyone who procures, entices, leads away, or exploits another person for prostitution, even if that person consents. Any person may be punished for keeping or managing a brothel, financing it, or knowingly letting or renting property for prostitution. Attempts and preparatory acts for the offences in articles 1 and 2 are also punishable, but only to the extent allowed by domestic law. Intentional participation in the acts covered by articles 1 and 2 is punishable, and participation may be treated as a separate offence when needed to prevent impunity. Aliens are entitled to be parties to proceedings for the covered offences on the same terms as nationals, when injured persons have that entitlement under domestic law.
