One of these actions is "trading in influence," as stipulated in Article 18 of the UNCAC.

This was due to the increasingly complicated manifestation of anti-corruption in the international community. The article analyses and compares the international understanding of corruption offences with their implementation in Indonesia. While exploring the relationship between the tenets of international criminal law and those of Indonesian criminal law, it will also look into how international criminal law is applied in Indonesia.
