≫The Legitimacy of the Ban on Foreign Bribery. On the Value of a Legal Norm determined by International Law and the Limits of Transnational Criminal Jurisdiction≪: The ban on foreign bribery in German criminal law is based on international anti-corruption conventions. It is far-reaching but does not follow a consistent approach. The author examines which interests the provision can be based on, including a human rights-based and a solidarity-based approach, and to what extent it is merely a symbolic legal norm based on international conventions. In addition to criminal law considerations, questions of state sovereignty are also examined and answered.
