The Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions, also known as the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention, was adopted on 21 November 1997. The text of the Convention and the Commentaries were signed by ministers and high level representatives of negotiating countries on 17 December 1997.
An international celebration of the tenth anniversary of the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention, hosted and organised by the Government of Italy and the OECD Working Group on Bribery, will provide an important and timely opportunity to foster broader public understanding and support of the Convention. It will also raise awareness about the important progress and changes over the last decade and countries’ commitment to continued joint action. This celebration will be a unique occasion to show that State Parties have strengthened their anti-bribery legislation and systems to level the playing field for international business, and how recent increases in foreign bribery investigations and prosecutions testify to a new business environment where unfair, unethical and unlawful behaviour is no longer tolerated.
