The Inter-American Convention against Corruption: Annotated with Commentary

The Inter-American Convention Against Corruption: Annotated with Commentary is the sole book devoted to examining and commenting on the first international agreement aimed exclusively at fighting corruption in the Western Hemisphere. This book explains the sense, scope, and consequences of each specific commitment, adopted currently by the countries belonging to the Organization of American States, for avoiding and punishing criminal offences and unethical practices in government. As this publication explains, success in the struggle against corruption will promote human and economic development, diminish poverty, and enhance open and fair competition in a globalized world.
