OECD Convention : Article 3 : Sanctions
- The bribery of a foreign
public official shall be punishable by effective, proportionate and
dissuasive criminal penalties. The range of penalties shall be comparable
to that applicable to the bribery of the Party's own public officials
and shall, in the case of natural persons, include deprivation of
liberty sufficient to enable effective mutual legal assistance and
extradition.
- In the event that, under
the legal system of a Party, criminal responsibility is not applicable
to legal persons, that Party shall ensure that legal persons shall
be subject to effective, proportionate and dissuasive non-criminal
sanctions, including monetary sanctions, for bribery of foreign public
officials.
- Each Party shall take
such measures as may be necessary to provide that the bribe and the
proceeds of the bribery of a foreign public official, or property
the value of which corresponds to that of such proceeds, are subject
to seizure and confiscation or that monetary sanctions of comparable
effect are applicable.
- Each Party shall consider
the imposition of additional civil or administrative sanctions upon
a person subject to sanctions for the bribery of a foreign public
official.
