 Council of Europe Group of States against Corruption
calls on the USA to ratify the Criminal Law Convention on Corruption,
praises the overall transparency of political financing but stresses the
need to enhance this transparency in respect of certain types of
contributions.
[Strasbourg, 26/01/2012] – The
Council of Europe’s Group of States against Corruption (GRECO) calls for the
United States of America to ratify the Criminal Law Convention on Corruption
and to fully incorporate it into the law. GRECO stresses that the United
States is one of the very few member states which are not a party to the
Convention and its Additional Protocol. Although the US legislation and
practice provide for a high degree of “functional” consistency with the
Convention and the enforcement regime is effective in prosecuting corruption
offences, US law does not appear to meet all the requirements of the
Convention, for example, as regards bribery in a foreign context and private
sector bribery. (more...)
