In the realm of international legal standards, the Foreign Extortion Prevention Act (FEPA) stands as a beacon of the United States’ commitment to combating corruption globally. For Costa Rican lawyers, understanding the implications of FEPA is not just a matter of legal compliance, but of maintaining the integrity of the legal profession itself.
FEPA: A Global Stance Against Corruption
FEPA seeks to criminalize the act of bribery by foreign officials, expanding the reach of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). This legislation underscores a crucial message: corruption has no place in fair and just international or local business practices.
The Role of Costa Rican Lawyers
Costa Rican lawyers are at the forefront of navigating the complexities of international law, and with FEPA potentially in play, the stakes are higher. It’s imperative that legal professionals are diligent in avoiding any actions that may be construed as corrupt, especially when U.S. interests are involved.
