Progress report 2010: enforcement of the OECD anti-bribery convention

This is the sixth annual Progress Report on Enforcement of the OECD Convention prepared by Transparency International. The OECD Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions, adopted in 1997, required each party to make foreign bribery a crime. The Convention was hailed as key to overcoming the damaging effects of foreign bribery on democratic institutions, development programmes and business competition.
