N2  - "The Inter-American Convention against Corruption was adopted by the Organization of American States (OAS) in 1997 to fight corruption within the governments of the Western Hemisphere. This important document, the first convention of its kind, details the rules ratified by the OAS for avoiding and punishing criminal offenses and unethical practices in government. Carlos A. Manfroni's annotated edition provides invaluable commentary that explains the sense, scope, and consequences of each article of the convention. The book includes an appendix of documents that give the reader a complete framework for understanding the convention ratification process, and updates by Richard S. Werksman offer the latest developments as of spring 2003"--Jacket
