《证人保护法》载有一些总体上与《公约》要求相符的保护措施。不过，该法 仅适用于须受“特别严重惩罚”的犯罪（《证人保护法》第 3(1(a))条）或有组织 犯罪集团实施的犯罪（第 3(1(a))条），这使该法不适用于腐败案件，除非这些案 件也涉及有组织犯罪。
The Witness Protection Act contains a number of protection measures generally in line with the requirements of the Convention. However, it applies only to the crimes punishable with “particularly heavy punishment” (art. 3(1(a)) of the Act) or committed by organized crime groups (art. 3(1(a)), which makes the Act inapplicable to corruption cases, except when those also involve organized crime
