ARTICULO 237. - Será reprimido con prisión de un mes a un año, el que empleare intimidación o fuerza contra un funcionario público o contra la persona que le prestare asistencia a requerimiento de aquél o en virtud de un deber legal, para exigirle la ejecución u omisión de un acto propio de sus funciones.
1. This Statute shall apply equally to all persons without any distinction based on official capacity. In particular, official capacity as a Head of State or Government, a member of a Government or parliament, an elected representative or a government official shall in no case exempt a person from criminal responsibility under this Statute, nor shall it, in and of itself, constitute a ground for reduction of sentence.
2. Immunities or special procedural rules which may attach to the official capacity of a person, whether under national or international law, shall not bar the Court from exercising its jurisdiction over such a person.
