OECD On Bribery Of Foreign Public Officials

The OECD Anti-Bribery Convention establishes legally binding standards to criminalize bribery of foreign officials in international business transactions and provides for a host of related measures that make this effective. It is the first and only international anti-corruption instrument focused on the ‘supply side’ of the bribery transaction.

The OECD booklet contains the official text and commentaries of the 1997 Convention, the 2009 Recommendation of the Council for further Combating Bribery, the 2009 Recommendation on the Tax Deductibility of Bribes to Foreign Public Officials and other related instruments:
