Felonies and misdemeanours under this Title are only prosecuted on the authority of the Federal Council.
The Federal Council shall order a prosecution only if a request to do so is received from the government of the foreign state in the case of Article 296 or from a governing officer of the international organisation in the case of Article 297. In times of active service, the Federal Council may also order a prosecution in the absence of a request.
In the case of Articles 296 and 297, the right to prosecute is subject to a limitation period of two years.1
