CONVENTIONS
Definition
International and regional agreements signed or formally adopted through ratification by multiple states that establish rules and standards on issues which are typically cross-border in nature and require a common approach for effective, multilateral cooperation.
Example in practice
With 140 government signatories, the United Nations Convention against Corruption
(UNCAC) is the first international anti-corruption instrument that legally binds acceding and ratifying countries to implement far-reaching reforms and establishes a common stance for efforts to combat corruption. Other multilateral conventions on corruption include the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention, the African Union Convention on Preventing and Combating Corruption and the Inter-American Convention on Corruption.
