Abstract: In this paper, we discussed the role of international anti-corruption conventions in criminalizing acts of corruption in the private sector. The subject of our research is limited to the United Nations and Arab Anti-Corruption Conventions. The first section deals with the crimes of bribery and misappropriation of property in the private sector, The second topic dealt with the crime of laundering criminal proceeds and the liability of legal persons.
In conclusion, we highlighted the most important conclusions that we have recommended in this regard. The most prominent of these are: The United Nations and Arab Anti-Corruption Conventions contain the criminalization of the main manifestations of corruption in the private sector. The implementation of the provisions of these conventions will reduce the proportion of corruption in the private sector, as they include in their texts a monitoring mechanism which, if applied, creates great difficulties for those who wish to steal. It is also easy to recover stolen money and bring perpetrators to justice and convict them.
The most important recommendations mentioned in the conclusion are the enactment of specific provisions to criminalize the basic manifestations of corruption in the private sector, and the tightening of sanctions on these crimes, as the latter are major obstacles to the development of the role of the private sector in economic development and in the overall economy of Iraq. In addition, an anti-corruption bill that meets the requirements of the UN and Arab anti-corruption conventions has been drafted and confirmed, and the promotion and facilitation of the dissemination of a culture of news on corruption and protection of whistleblowers.
