《刑法》规定两个追诉时效等级：一级罪行（可处以 5 年以上监禁、终身监禁 或强制清算的罪行）的追诉时效为 10 年，二级罪行（可判处 5 年以下监禁的罪 行）的追诉时效为 5 年。按照《公约》规定的大部分罪行的追诉时效为自犯罪 之日起 5 年。如果犯罪情节严重，则追诉时效为 10 年。如果被控犯罪者逃避司 法处置，暂不适用追诉时效法规。
The Penal Code contains two levels of limitations: 10 years in the case of an offence of the first degree (crime punishable with a penalty of more than 5 years’ imprisonment, life imprisonment, or compulsory liquidation), and 5 years in thecase of an offence of the second degree (crime of which the maximum penalty provided is less than 5 years). Most of the offences set forth in accordance with the Convention have a limitation period of 5 years, starting from the day of the commission of the offence. If committed in aggravating circumstances, these offences become subject to the limitation period of 10 years. The statute of limitations is suspended when the alleged perpetrator has evaded the administration of justice.
