Abstract: 

This book, written by a policy analyst at the OECD Public Sector Integrity Division, Public Governance Directorate, examines the interaction between existing general international legal rules and those specifically addressing corruption, which are mostly contained in international anti-corruption conventions, and, on the other hand, the legal adjustments that have been required at national level. The book reviews the international legal framework against corruption in terms of both international obligations and the main legal roles that may arise in the implementation of those obligations.  The book discusses what happens when States do not meet their international legal obligations.
