Za učinkovit boj proti korupciji vsaka država pogodbenica v obsegu, ki ga dovoljujejo temeljna načela njene notranjepravne ureditve, in v skladu s pogoji, ki jih predpisuje njeno notranje pravo, sprejme take ukrepe, kot so lahko potrebni, da se v okviru njenih sredstev njenim pristojnim organom omogoči na njenem ozemlju ustrezna uporaba nadzorovane pošiljke, in če se ji zdi primerno, druge posebne preiskovalne metode, kot so elektronske ali druge oblike nadzora in tajnih operacij ter omogoči dopustnost tako pridobljenih dokazov na sodišču.
In order to combat corruption effectively, each State Party shall, to the extent permitted by the basic principles of its domestic legal system and in accordance with the conditions prescribed by its domestic law, take such measures as may be necessary, within its means, to allow for the appropriate use by its competent authorities of controlled delivery and, where it deems appropriate, other special investigative techniques, such as electronic or other forms of surveillance and undercover operations, within its territory, and to allow for the admissibility in court of evidence derived therefrom.
