Session information

Panel seven : The geopolitics of anti-corruption: Sanctions, trade, and influence

Thursday 18 June (1345 - 1500)

Description

Anti-corruption enforcement now operates in an environment shaped by sanctions, de-risking, and strategic competition among powers. This session examines how economic sanctions and trade controls are increasingly used as anti-corruption tools and how these measures reshape global compliance obligations. The panel will explore how businesses can navigate a fragmented enforcement map influenced as much by diplomacy as by legality.
