Mary Crane-Charef is Communications Officer at the Anti-Corruption Division, Directorate for Financial and Enterprise Affairs of the OECD. Her presentation focused mainly on the implementation and enforcement of the Anti-Bribery Convention. "Too few realise that the bribery of foreign public officials in international business is a serious crime with serious consequences. Foreign bribery distorts competitive markets and undermines governments and sustainable economic development. The OECD confronts this problem with the Anti-Bribery Convention, which entered into force in 1999. Since then, thirty-eight countries have recognised the risks foreign bribery presents and criminalized this behavior." says Crane-Charef. She also shared a few career tips with students wishing to work in international organizations such as OECD.

My time in Paris gave me many opportunities to connect and interact with people in the vibrant international community around Paris, from UNESCO to Human Rights Watch, to the countless other organisations that call Paris home.quote right
