The OECD Convention on Bribery
By
Mark Pieth, Linda Low, Peter J. Cullen
Description
The OECD
Convention is the first major international treaty specifically to
address \\\'supply-side bribery\\\' by sanctioning the briber. The OECD
Convention establishes an international standard for compliance with
anti-corruption rules by 36 countries, including the 30 OECD members
and six non-member countries, with the leading OECD exporting
countries receiving particular attention. This book is an
article-by-article commentary which gives particular attention to the
results of the OECD monitoring process as applied to state
implementation. Companies in particular are at ever greater risk of
legal and \\\'reputational\\\' damage resulting from failure to comply with
the anti-corruption standards set inter alia, by the OECD Convention.
This book provides them with comprehensive guidance on the OECD
standards. The commentary also constitutes a significant work of
comparative criminal law. It is written and edited by persons who
include experts involved in development of the Convention standards
as well as academics and legal practitioners.
• This is the
first book to give detailed commentary on OECD Convention: there is
urgent need to provide guidance to legal community on this
instrument, which has been implemented recently in national law •
Comprehensive coverage of implementation of anti-bribery Convention
in all OECD countries • Scholarly but practical: written from a
legal standpoint but with awareness of political context and
practical constraints on enforcement
