23 January 2006, Meeting of Management and Trade Union Experts on Implementing the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention: The Role of Trade Unions

This meeting examined the role of trade unions in implementing the Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions (the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention).
The aim of the meeting was to increase awareness of bribery and corruption and its implications for trade unions, as well as to improve awareness of the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention and other anti-corruption instruments and their relevance to trade unions.
It also sought to improve understanding of the trade union role in supporting the Convention and other anti-corruption activities, and identified trade union priorities and resource needs in this area.
