10 May, 2007 Uncovering Corporate Corruption in International Law
Michael Ahrens from Transparency International and Eric Knight (former Sydney Law School student) will give a presentation on corporate corruption at the Law School on 10 May 2007. The presentation will focus on a recent scandal surrounding the aborted investigations for the sake of "national security" by the UK government into a British company, BAE Systems, and its alleged corrupt dealings for the sale of aircraft to the Saudi Arabian government. The presenters will look into the UK's (and other signatories') obligations under the OECD Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials and whether national security interests may justify a breach of a state's obligations under that convention.
