This book traces the creation of international anti-corruption
norms by states and other actors through four markedly different
institutions: the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and
Development, the United Nations, the Extractive Industries
Transparency Initiative, and the Financial Action Task Force. Each
of these institutions oversees an international instrument that
requires states to combat corruption. Yet, only the United Nations
oversees anti-corruption norms that take the sole form of a binding
multilateral treaty. The OECD has, by contrast, fostered the
development of the binding 1997 OECD Anti-Bribery Convention, as
well as non-binding recommendations and guidance associated with
treaty itself. In addition, the revenue transparency and anti-money
laundering norms developed through the Extractive Industries
Transparency Initiative and the Financial Action Task Force,
respectively, take the form of non-binding instruments that have no
relationship with multilateral treaties. The creation of
international anti-corruption norms through non-binding instruments
and informal institutions has the potential to privilege the
interests of powerful states in ways that raise questions about the
normative legitimacy of these institutions and the instruments they
produce. At the same time, the anti-corruption instruments created
under the auspices of these institutions also show that non-binding
instruments and informal institutions carry significant advantages.
The non-binding instruments in the anti-corruption field have
demonstrated a capacity to influence domestic legal systems that is
comparable to, if not greater than, that of binding treaties. With
corruption and money laundering at the forefront of political
debate, International Anti-Corruption Norms provides timely
expertise on how states and international institutions grapple with
these global problems.
