Bribery and corruption undermine democracy, the rule of law and sustainable development.
They deny citizens their human rights.
The international community has taken strong action against international bribery, requiring
major exporting countries to make it a crime for their companies or
nationals to pay bribes to foreign public officials in international trade and investment.
But while awareness of laws criminalising international bribery is low, the evidence suggests that levels of international bribery
remain high. Only limited information
is easily available on where and how to report suspected incidents of international bribery.
Citizens around the world seeking to defend their democracies and their
rights have a strong interest in tackling international bribery. This
International Bribery Reporter aims to support their engagement by
providing information on where and how to report allegations of international bribery involving companies or nationals from
37 of the world's leading exporters.
