The OECD Anti Bribery Convention officially OECD Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions is a Treaty convention of the OECD aimed at reducing political corruption corruption in developing countries by encouraging sanctions against bribery in international business transactions carried out by companies based in the Convention member countries. Its goal is to create a truly level playing field in today s international business environment. The convention was signed on 17 December 1997 and came into force on 15 February 1999. Countries that have signed the Convention are required to put in place legislation that criminalises the act of bribing a foreign public official. The OECD has no authority to implement the convention, but instead monitors implementation by participating countries. Countries are responsible for implementing laws and regulations that conform to the convention and therefore provide for enforcement. The OECD performs its monitoring function in a two phased examination process. Phase I consists of a review of legislation implementing the conventions in the member country with the goal of evaluating the adequacy of the laws. Phase 2 assesses the effectiveness with which the legislation is applied. Member States As of 2009 4 1 df US , 38 countries have ratified the convention flagcountry Argentina flagcountry Australia flagcountry Austria flagcountry Belgium flagcountry Brazil flagcountry Bulgaria flagcountry Canada flagcountry Chile flagcountry Czech Republic flagcountry Denmark flagcountry Estonia flagcountry Finland flagcountry France flagcountry Germany flagcountry Greece flagcountry Hungary flagcountry Iceland flagcountry Ireland flagcountry Israel flagcountry Italy flagcountry Japan flagcountry ...

Lex Baebia was one of many laws enacted during the Roman Republic to combat ambitus bribery or corruption in the electoral process. There is some confusion over the exact nature of this law whether it was indeed a single law or two. Lex Baebia de Praetoribus mandated the election of four and then six praetors on successive years. This law, however, was never observed. A second, Lex Baebia de Ambitu, involved combating electoral bribery. Both are related to each other in purpose.
