international anti-corruption laws

International anti-corruption laws are regulations that aim to prevent and penalize corruption across countries. They establish standards to combat bribery, fraud, and abuse of power by public officials and businesses operating globally. These laws promote transparency, accountability, and fair practices in international trade and government dealings, often through treaties or agreements like the UN Convention Against Corruption and the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention. They also criminalize bribery of foreign officials and require countries to implement measures to detect and prevent corrupt activities, fostering a more ethical and trustworthy global environment for business and governance.
