SUMMARY:Panel two - Combatting corruption’s demand side: New U.S. legisla
 tion and beyond
DESCRIPTION:Neither the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) nor many 
 other countries’ anti-corruption laws directly provide for enforcement a
 gainst foreign officials who demand bribes\, focusing instead as a polic
 y matter on the supply side of bribe payers. In fact\, the Organization 
 for Economic Co-operation and Development OECD found in 2018 that only a
 bout one in five foreign bribery enforcement actions included sanctions 
 against public officials\, such as for money laundering. However\, in la
 te 2023\, the United States enacted the Foreign Extortion Prevention Act
  (FEPA)\, which explicitly criminalises foreign officials’ receipt of br
 ibes. This panel will discuss FEPA\, as well as other US and internation
 al efforts to combat the demand side of bribery\, including relevant imp
 lications and critiques.\n
