operate programs that promote good governance in 
foreign countries and enhance such countries’ ability

or the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2751 et seq.) 
to combat public corruption. Each such assessment 
shall— 
(1) utilize independent, third party indicators 
that measure transparency, accountability, and cor-
ruption in the public sector in such countries, includ-
ing the extent to which public power is exercised for 
private gain, to identify those countries that are 
most vulnerable to public corruption; 
(2) consider, to the extent reliable information 
is available, whether the government of a country 
identified under paragraph (1)—

lic corruption, such as measures to inform and

corruption;

ernment structures, policies, and practices that

gage in or facilitate public corruption;

serious and significant corruption that is com-
mensurate with the punishment prescribed for 
serious crimes; 
(F) prescribes appropriate punishment for 
significant corruption that provides a suffi-
ciently stringent deterrent and adequately re-
flects the nature of the offense; 
(G) convicts and sentences persons respon-
sible for such acts that take place wholly or 
partly within the country of such government, 
including, as appropriate, requiring the incar-
ceration of individuals convicted of such acts; 
(H) holds private sector representatives ac-
countable for their role in public corruption;

monitor anti-corruption efforts;
3226 
(3) further consider— 
(A) verifiable measures taken by the gov-
ernment of a country identified under para-
graph (1) to prohibit government officials from 
participating in, facilitating, or condoning pub-
lic corruption, including the investigation, pros-
ecution, and conviction of such officials; 
(B) the extent to which such government 
provides access, or, as appropriate, makes ade-
quate resources available, to civil society organi-
zations and other institutions to combat public 
corruption, including reporting, investigating, 
and monitoring; 
(C) the extent to which an independent ju-
diciary or judicial body in such country is re-
sponsible for, and effectively capable of, decid-
ing public corruption cases impartially, on the

out any improper restrictions, influences, in-
ducements, pressures, threats, or interferences, 
whether direct or indirect, from any source or 
for any reason;

3227 
tions and the rule of law to prevent, prohibit,

tigations of transnational public corruption 
networks and in other cooperative efforts 
to combat serious, significant corruption, 
including cooperating with the govern-
ments of other countries to extradite cor-
rupt actors; 
(ii) recognizes the rights of victims of 
public corruption, ensures their access to 
justice, and takes steps to prevent such 
victims from being further victimized or 
persecuted by corrupt actors, government 
officials, or others; and 
(iii) refrains from prosecuting legiti-
mate victims of public corruption or whis-
tleblowers due to such persons having as-
sisted in exposing public corruption, and

ment of such persons; and
