Nekrasova, T.A. Problems and perspectives of public-private partnership in the sphere of fighting corruption

Abstract: The article concerns the possibility of using the mechanisms for public-private partnerships in relation to fighting corruption. It is noted in the article that the Anglo-Saxon states have a progressive approach towards fighting corruption in the private law sphere. There is a positive practice of responsibility for the bribery in the private sphere not in a domestic territory of the state, but also abroad. At the same time the measures for the prevention of private law corruption, rather than the repressive measures, are regarded as having the most perspective in company sphere. Due to taking a number of obligations within a number of international anti-corruption acts (first of all the UN Convention Against Corruption of October 31, 2003 and the OECD Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions) the legislation of the Russian Federation on corruption prevention was significantly changed and amended. One of such changes included legislative provisions for the prevention of corruption in the private law sphere. In particular, the Federal Law “On Fighting Corruption” was amended with the Art. 13.3 “Obligation of organizations to take measures to prevent corruption”, according to which the organizations were obliged to develop and adopt measures for corruption prevention. The implementation of a complex of such measures should be aimed at formation and introduction of internal corporate anti-corruption policy with detailed regulation of such activities.
