The Convention was adopted by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development on November 21, 1997.

In accordance with the Convention, the parties undertake to stipulate criminal liability in their legislation to individuals who “intentionally offer, promise or give any undue pecuniary or other advantage” to a foreign public official in order to promote or counteract the conclusion of an international business transaction. The national legislation of parties should also establish liability of legal entities for such actions.
