international bribery

International bribery involves offering or giving money, gifts, or favors to foreign public officials or business representatives to influence their decisions or actions in favor of the briber. This practice undermines fair competition, promotes corruption, and distorts global trade and governance. It often occurs across borders, complicating enforcement due to differing laws and legal jurisdictions. Combating international bribery requires international cooperation, clear legal frameworks, and corporate policies to promote transparency and ethical conduct in global business transactions.
