#IACC2024 

This Workshop took place during the 21st International Anti-Corruption Conference (IACC) held in Vilnius, Lithuania, from 18-21 June 2024. More info: iaccseries.org/
Description: Numerous treaties, conventions and commitments though multilateral fora seek to end the practice of foreign bribery. These bribery schemes typically include two guilty parties-a private individual or company that offers or pays a bribe (the supply side” of bribery), and a government official who demands or accepts it (the “demand side”).
When it comes to the “supply” side, Transparency International’s most recent Exporting Corruption report reveals that only 2 of the 47 largest exporting countries are actively enforcing their foreign anti-bribery laws. On the demand side, a survey by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development shows that home governments only criminally sanction their bribe-demanding or -receiving officials some 20 percent of the time.
This dynamic left anticorruption advocates with incomplete justice. Until now.
In this workshop we will examine new foreign anti-bribery tools that offer the promise of progress, as well as methods for engaging local activists, investigative journalists, and the private sector in this core element of the anticorruption fight.
