The OECD, through its various instruments and tools, most notably the OECD Anti–Bribery Convention and the recently revised 2021 Recommendation on further combating bribery, is a leading institution in the international fight against corruption. The Anti-Bribery Convention is one of the most important international instruments to combat international bribery. It is focused on the supply side of bribery and has helped governments to pass laws formally criminalizing bribery, strengthen their existing regulations, and foster effective enforcement. Aside the OECD’s monitoring activities in the context of the Convention, the Organization also conducts research and analysis on a range of issues such as drivers behind corporate compliance programs, the demand side of bribery, and the prevalence of corruption in state-owned enterprises (SOEs).
The Anti–Corruption Committee primarily contributes to the work of the following OECD bodies:
- OECD Working Group on Bribery
- OECD Anti–Corruption and Integrity Forum
- OECD Trust in Business Forum
