description The article examines the international legal basis for combating corruption of a universal and regional nature, which is recognized by standards and contains norms for preventing this offense in the private sphere. In particular, attention is paid to the provisions of the only universal international treaty - the UN Convention against Corruption (UNCAC), in which the norms for combating corruption in the private sector were established. It is noted that the provisions of the UNCAC became the basis for the development of a comprehensive response to the global problem. The provisions of the treaties (The Criminal Law Convention on Corruption (ETS 173), Additional Protocol to the Convention (ETS 191), Council of Europe Criminal Law Convention on Corruption (ETS 174)) and advisory norms adopted within the framework of the Council of Europe on countering corruption. It is emphasized that the approach of this organization to the fight against corruption has three interrelated aspects: development of pan-European norms and standards, monitoring of their compliance, as well as provision of technical assistance to states and regions. The focus is on the anti-corruption norms of the European Union (Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, directives, sectoral norms, etc.) and the policy of the Union regarding the reform of existing legal prescriptions and relevant measures in this area. It is noted that a feature of EU acts is the emphasis on the role of the private sector as a partner in the fight against corruption. An analysis of the legal instruments of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) on combating corruption, bribery and promoting integrity in the public and private sectors was carried out, and it was emphasized that the OECD is the main source of recommendations and guidelines in the field of business integrity. Practical materials, the purpose of which is to provide assistance to member states of the organization in implementing the provisions of treaty norms in the field of responsible business behavior of business entities, are also significant. Appropriate conclusions have been made.
