The crime of bribery in the private sector Master’s thesis at the Faculty of Law
The Faculty of Law, University of Karbala, discussed the master’s thesis tagged: (bribery crime in the private sector – a comparative study -) the thesis was presented by the student “Youssef Muhammad Baqer”.
The study aimed to show that the crime of bribery is no longer limited to the scope of the job in the public sector, but extended to the facilities of the private sector, due to the increased intervention of the latter in satisfying the needs of individuals, and its competition in providing services to the public, and the spread of bribery crime, whether in the public sector or the sector private is a serious indicator of concern; Because of the vibration of the value system within society, and the deviation of morals rules.
The letter indicated that the Iraqi legislator has criminalized the crime of bribery in the private sector in the implementation of its international obligations, after its accession in 2007 to the United Nations Convention against Corruption approved in 2003, in addition to achieving a high level of harmonization with the system of international legislation. Although this agreement did not obligate state parties to criminalize bribery in the private sector, but rather made it optional, unlike the 2010 Arab Anti-Corruption Convention, which obligated state parties to criminalize it.
The study reached a number of findings and recommendations, the most important of which is that the Iraqi legislator criminalizes this crime, which is to limit it to bribery in the private sector in work related to the public sector, whether it is national or foreign, which means that bribery committed in the purely private sector is permissible and does not constitute any legal accountability for its perpetrators. .
