Key participants involved in OECD's work in the global fight against corruption have been honoured by two prestigious bodies, Transparency International in its 2007 Integrity Awards and African investor magazine in its annual African Investor Awards.
Transparency International, the leading international NGO campaigning against corruption, chose Mark Pieth, the chair of OECD's Working Group on Bribery, as one of two recipients of its annual Integrity Awards. Mark, who has led OECD's anti-corruption work since its early stages, teaches criminal law and criminology at the University of Basel in his native Switzerland.
Separately, OECD's Anti-Corruption Division was "Highly Commended" in the 2007 African Investor Awards for its work with South Africa in the global fight against bribery. South Africa became the first African country to sign the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention earlier this year, joining the OECD Working Group on Bribery as its 37th member.
