Description

The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 resulted from bribery of foreign government officials by Lockheed Aircraft Company. This Act is designed to prevent the bribing of foreign officials in order to obtain foreign government contracts. Payments to foreign officials for “facilitation,” often referred to as grease payments, are not prohibited under FCPA so long as these payments are made only to get officials to do their normal jobs that they might not do, or would do slowly, without some payment. These payments can be made only to secure a permit or license; obtain paper processing; secure police protection; provide phone, water, or power supply; or similar such actions.

The BBNJ Agreement becomes the third implementing agreement to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. This historic treaty will enable international efforts to protect biodiversity on the high seas, the ocean areas outside of national waters.A new global agreement provides a pathway for improved governance, conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity in the high seas. The new High Seas Treaty addresses many of the governance gaps that have plagued the ocean, setting out clearer ways to conserve biodiversity in the high seas.
