1. Without prejudice to article 14 of this Convention, each State Party shall take such measures as may be necessary, in accordance with its domestic law, to require financial institutions within its jurisdiction to verify the identity of customers, to take reasonable steps to determine the identity of beneficial owners of funds deposited into high-value accounts and to conduct enhanced scrutiny of accounts sought or maintained by or on behalf of individuals who are, or have been, entrusted with prominent public functions and their family members and close associates. Such enhanced scrutiny shall be reasonably designed to detect suspicious transactions for the purpose of reporting to competent authorities and should not be so construed as to discourage or prohibit financial institutions from doing business with any legitimate customer.
一、在不影响本公约第十四条的情况下，各缔约国均应当根据本国法律采取必要的措施，以要求其管辖范围内的金融机构核实客户身份，采取合理步骤确定存入大额账户的资金的实际受益人身份，并对正在或者曾经担任重要公职的个人及其家庭成员和与其关系密切的人或者这些人的代理人所要求开立或者保持的账户进行强化审查。对这种强化审查应当作合理的设计，以监测可疑交易从而向主管机关报告，而不应当将其理解为妨碍或者禁止金融机构与任何合法客户的业务往来。
