This Convention aims to co-ordinate national legislation concerning certain corruption offences, and to improve international co-operation for the prosecution of such offences. The Convention provides for the criminalisation of active and passive corruption of national and foreign public officials; members of national, international and supranational assemblies; judges and staff of international or supranational courts; and, in the business sector, trading in influence involving public officials, laundering of corruption proceeds, and accounting offences linked to corruption. Issues such as jurisdiction, sanctions and measures, establishing specialised authorities for the fight against corruption, co-operation among law enforcement agencies, and protection of witnesses are also covered.
