Whoever, while a United States national or lawful permanent resident serving with the United Nations, its specialized agencies, or other international organization the Secretary has designated for purposes of this section and published in the Federal Register, or while accompanying such an individual, engages in conduct, or conspires or attempts to engage in conduct, outside the United States that would constitute an offense punishable by imprisonment for more than one year if the conduct had been engaged in within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States, shall be subject to United States jurisdiction in order to be tried for that offense.
In this section: The term accompanying such individual means— being a dependent, or family member of a United States national or lawful permanent resident serving with the United Nations, its specialized agencies, or other international organization designated under subsection (a); residing with such United States national or lawful permanent resident serving with the United Nations, its specialized agencies, or other international organization designated under subsection (a); and not being a national of or ordinarily resident in the country where the offense is committed.
The term serving with the United Nations, its specialized agencies, or other international organization as the Secretary of State may designate under subsection
(a)means— being a United States national or lawful permanent resident employed as an employee, a contractor (including a subcontractor at any tier), an employee of a contractor (or a subcontractor at any tier), an expert on mission, or an unpaid intern or volunteer of the United Nations, including any of its funds, programs or subsidiary bodies, or any of the United Nations specialized agencies, or of any international organization designated under subsection (a)(1); and being present or residing outside the United States in connection with such employment. The term United States national has the meaning given the term national of the United States in section 101(a)(22) of the Immigration and Nationality Act ( 8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(22) ). Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit or affect the application of extraterritorial jurisdiction related to any other Federal law.
