Report Launch -- Busting Bribery: Sustaining the Global Momentum of the FCPA

The Open Society Policy Center, the International Corporate Accountability Roundtable, Global Financial Integrity, Global Witness, EG Justice, and Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington host a panel discussion on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC.

Panelists explore the history of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and its enforcement and will discuss the potential consequences of the current efforts on Capitol Hill to amend the Act.

The event launches the report "Busting Bribery: Sustaining the Global Momentum of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act." The report critiques the US Chamber of Commerce's five proposed amendments to the FCPA and the authors of the report will discuss their findings. Panelists will also provide their views on how the FCPA affects US business and how changes to the law would affect global anti-corruption efforts.

Panelists include:

· David Kennedy, Manley O. Hudson Professor of Law, Harvard Law School
· Dan Danielsen, Professor of Law, Northeastern University School of Law
· Bennett Freeman, Senior Vice President, Calvert Asset Mgmt Company
· Sarah Pray, Policy Analyst for Africa, Open Society Foundations (moderator)
