Combating Bribery
 
In May 2011, the Commission for Eradication of Corruption in Indonesia (K.P.K.) and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (O.E.C.D.) met to devise a treaty against international bribery practices. First, read the Conference Conclusions document. Then discuss how the twelve conclusions from the conference will help the international anti-corruption community forge ahead in fighting foreign bribery with a mutual understanding of how to achieve its goals.
