Abstract:
The international legal framework regulating bribery comprises a multitude of international obligations, domestic laws, financial sanctions, NGOs, codes of conduct, indicator regimes, regulatory and governance frameworks and asset recovery programs. This paper considers that these constituents constitute a ‘regime complex’. It comprehensively outlines the elements of this regime complex and concludes that while in some respects the regime complex functions well, other aspects warrant reconsideration in order to improve overall efficacy.
