| | Bribery is illegal under the laws of almost all the countries in which BP operates and is also illegal globally under the U.K.'s Anti-Terrorism Act and the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. | | | Bribery is the giving, promising or offering of any gift, loan, fee, reward or other advantage to any person as an inducement to do something which is dishonest, illegal or a breach of trust. | | | Bribery, a specific subset of corruption, is defined as paying money or giving a benefit to someone in government in order to obtain inappropriate commercial advantage. |

| | We might define bribery as remuneration for the performance of an act that is inconsistent with the work contract or the nature of the work one has been hired to perform. | | | If bribery were universally practiced, expert testimony, justice in the courts, and everything else would be up for sale to the highest bidder. | | | In fact, it is not a case of bribery at all. |

| | RECOMMENDATION OF THE COUNCIL on Combating Bribery in International Business Transactions |
| | The offence of bribery of foreign public officials should be sanctioned/punishable by effective, proportionate and dissuasive criminal penalties, sufficient to secure effective mutual legal assistance and extradition, comparable to those applicable to the bribers in cases of corruption of domestic public officials. | | | Jurisdiction over the offence of bribery of foreign public officials should in any case be established when the offence is committed in whole or in part in the prosecuting State's territory. | | | Countries should tailor their laws on mutual legal assistance to permit co-operation with countries investigating cases of bribery of foreign public officials even, including third countries (country of the offeror; country where the act occurred) and countries applying different types of criminalisation legislation to reach such cases. |

| | The strongest argument against accepting bribery as a cultural norm is that virtually every nation of the world has laws prohibiting it. | | | A second is that bribery denies justice for those who cannot afford to pay. | | | Westerners have no right to impose their own legal norms on a context in which small-scale bribery has almost the status of customary law."2 |

| | Bribery involves a contract committing the bribe-taker to break his/her (prior) contract. | | | Bribery reduces effective liberty by eliminating other sellers (in other words, it violates the "rights" of other sellers to compete for a sale). | | | Finally, though particular acts of bribery often escape detection, wherever bribery is widely practiced, specific cases of it are soon discovered. |

| | When information is received relating to acts of bribery that may fall within the jurisdiction of other parties to the convention, the information will be forwarded, as appropriate, to national authorities for action. | | | In the seven years since agreement was reached on a multinational anti-bribery convention, all 35 signatories have ratified the treaty and adopted legislation that criminalizes the bribery of foreign public officials by persons within their jurisdiction, the U.S. Department of Commerce says. | | | However, for a number of countries, we still have the same concerns that were identified in prior years' reports about the absence of specific legislative provisions to fulfill obligations under the convention. |

| | In that Policy, the Department of Justice discussed the basic elements of the prohibited conduct under Section 215, and indicated that cases to be considered for prosecution under the new bribery law entail breaches of fiduciary duty or dishonest efforts to undermine financial institution transactions. | | | Because the statute was intended to reach acts of corruption in the banking industry, the Department of Justice expressed its intent not to prosecute insignificant gift-giving or entertaining that did not involve a breach of fiduciary duty or dishonesty. | | | Thus, the prohibitions of the bank bribery statute cannot be avoided by simply reporting to management the acceptance of various gifts. |

| | Under Article 3(1), punishment for bribery need only be "comparable" to the punishment already prescribed for bribery of a state party's own public officials. | | | Indeed, Article 3(2) of the Convention provides that a state that does not impose criminal responsibility on legal persons is not obliged to do so for bribery; such a state is obliged only to impose civil sanctions. | | | Article 10(1) deems bribery an extraditable offense for the purposes of any extradition treaties between the parties, and Article 10(2) provides that the Bribery Convention can serve as the legal basis for extradition in the absence of an extradition treaty. |

| | Even if that weren't the case, one cannot make a case for bribery in general because it's just as easy to bribe an official to turn up the heat on a competitor as it is to bribe him to leave you alone. | | | So in the case where a briber is seeking an injustice from just laws, there would have to be a victim (or even just someone to object) based on the assuption of no victim-less evils, which would result in the victim (or bystander) reporting the crime leading to penalties for the official and the briber. | | | One can defend bribery as a rational means for the privileged to evade some forms of state violence. |

| | The examiners recommended that the UK should "broaden the level of persons engaging the criminal liability of legal persons" for foreign bribery offences and adopt "a regime of additional administrative or civil sanctions for legal persons". | | | The report notes, however, that: this role has not been enshrined in the SFO's mandate; the SFO has not received any additional resources to take on bribery cases; and there are ongoing questions about whether the SFO will be able to take on every case after the vetting stage. | | | The UK's legislative arrangements were first reviewed in December 1999, and the Working Group concluded from this review that it "was not in a position to determine that the U.K. laws are in compliance with the standards under the Convention". |
