This guide focuses on the two principal anti-corruption conventions in the Americas, the OAS and UN Conventions. It explains their uses; describes why and how to promote national ratification, implementation and intergovernmental monitoring; and discusses ways to carry out civil society monitoring. It also describes briefly the other conventions having application to corruption issues in the Americas, notably the OECD Convention on Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions and the UN Convention on Transnational Organized Crime.
