OECD Anti-bribery Convention

The OECD Convention on the Bribery of Foreign Public Officials, is the first legally binding international instrument that aims to curb the behaviour of corrupt MNCs operating overseas. Countries that have signed the Convention are required to put in place legislation that criminalises the act of bribing a foreign public official. The OECD Working Group on Bribery is responsible for monitoring the implementation of the Convention. In the period  2003-2008, a team of experts will visit each country to assess compliance with the Convention.
