Despite greater awareness, companies and individuals continue to step on the same proverbial anti-corruption mines. Late 2017 through 2018 saw a considerable number of investigations, prosecutions and settlements based on common and well- established landmarks of violative conduct: the misuse of third party relationships, abuse of gifts, hospitality, and travel, and failure to properly control hiring. It is clear at this point that just knowing the risks and common mistakes is not sufficient to avoid them. Companies must provide both guidance for avoiding the “mines” and controls to prevent employees from stepping on them. With this Alert, we hope to help in both respects. Using the past 24 months of enforcement, cases, news, announcements, and policy changes, we will try to help identify the most prevalent and current anti-corruption risks and put them in a context so they can be better understood. It is only after understanding the risks that companies can develop guidance and controls to avoid the risks. This Alert is divided into six chapters. Chapter 1 is devoted to analysis of certain critical enforcement highlights, trends, and lessons from recent settlements, prosecutions, and other related developments. Following that analysis, Chapter 2 is dedicated to the U.S. FCPA. Chapter 2 provides a description of each FCPA-related settlement for 2017 and 2018 organized alphabetically by year. Chapter 2 also includes other relevant FCPA-related developments, including court rulings, guidance, and results from recent FCPA-related civil litigation. Chapter 3 is dedicated to developments in enforcement of the U.K. Bribery Act, including a description of certain recent investigations and enforcement actions of note. Chapter 4 covers enforcement updates in other select countries: Brazil, China, France, and Norway. Chapter 5 provides an update related to the activities of multilateral development banks in the global fight against corruption. Chapter 6 is left for other international developments in the context of anti- corruption enforcement, this year focusing on an update on the status of EU data protection laws and regulations. For those so inclined, more information is included in our FCPA and Anti-Bribery Compendium, which is freely available on our website (www.hugheshubbard.com) and contains (i) descriptions of all FCPA settlements and criminal matters from 2005 through 2018 (including relevant updates), (ii) a summary of each DOJ Review and Opinion Procedure Release issued from 1980-present, (iii) further details and background information on the U.K. Bribery Act and multilateral development bank enforcement, and (iv) a discussion of various international developments and compliance guidance. For more information about the matters discussed in this Alert or our Anti-Corruption and Internal Investigations practice generally, please contact us or any member of our Practice Group. Kevin T.

Both Uruguay and Argentina try to transfer higher cattle prices to exports but that seems to find a firm opposition from importers. In fact, the tone in the Chinese market is a relatively stability for most cuts. In Brazil, the export market is “calm” and “it’s not easy” to find attractive options to sell the beef stocks that Brazilian packers have in cold depots, a trader commented. Even though 7-cut forequarters still get in China around US$/t 4,050 CIF, units trying to get higher prices don’t find a positive answer in the other side of the counter. At the same time, the Hong Kong market is as well reported “calm” and with “difficulties” for offal coming from the region.

    Turning the Tide on Dirty Money Why the World’S Democracies Need a Global Kleptocracy Initiative

    GETTY IMAGES Turning the Tide on Dirty Money Why the World’s Democracies Need a Global Kleptocracy Initiative By Trevor Sutton and Ben Judah February 2021 WWW.AMERICANPROGRESS.ORG Contents 1 Preface 3 Introduction and summary 6 How dirty money went global and why efforts to stop it have failed 10 Why illicit finance and kleptocracy are a threat to global democracy and should be a foreign policy priority 13 The case for optimism: Why democracies have a structural advantage against kleptocracy 18 How to harden democratic defenses against kleptocracy: Key principles and areas for improvement 21 Recommendations 28 Conclusion 29 Corruption and kleptocracy: Key definitions and concepts 31 About the authors and acknowledgments 32 Endnotes Preface Transparency and honest government are the lifeblood of democracy. Trust in democratic institutions depends on the integrity of public servants, who are expected to put the common good before their own interests and faithfully observe the law. When officials violate that duty, democracy is at risk. No country is immune to corruption. As representatives of three important democratic societies—the United States, the European Union, and the United Kingdom—we recognize that corruption is an affront to our shared values, one that threatens the resiliency and cohesion of democratic governments around the globe and undermines the relationship between the state and its citizens. For that reason, we welcome the central recommendation of this report that the world’s democracies should work together to increase transparency in the global economy and limit the pernicious influence of corruption, kleptocracy, and illicit finance on democratic institutions.

Newkome ______________________________ ______________________________ Committee Member Date Marguerite DiMarco ______________________________ Committee Member Margaret Tonkin-Stephens ii ABSTRACT A descriptive retrospective study was performed to display the intersection of U.S. Agricultural Policies (which created the U.S. food supply composition) and Health Policies (which focused on disease treatment) on an individual level disease, obesity (described as BMI units). The intersection in the 20th century between U.S. agricultural and health policy shaped the nutrient composition of the food supply and school children’s growth. However, here is a disproportionate increase in obesity occurring among US children as compared to children in 13 other developed countries and adults possibly because selection has been occurring for phenotypes that have ‘thrifty’ metabolic settings expressed as obesity. Obesity is a disease of mal-nutrition caused by unhealthy diet quality and quantity with the lifespan cost of obesity increasing if obesity is developed in childhood because of the longer duration of co-morbid conditions (CSDH, 2008; Deckelbaum & Williams, 2001).

Many of the Chinese government’s united front activities are entrusted to a specific organization: the Communist Party’s United Front Work Department (UFWD), which handles a broad range of policy portfolios ranging from ethnic and religious affairs within China, to seeking influence over ethnic Chinese ​ communities and governments in foreign countries. However, in a much broader sense, the “united front” also represents a series of political strategies and tactics, employed by a variety of Chinese state-affiliated organizations, to pursue the interests of the Chinese Communist Party throughout the world. In our first article, Anne-Marie Brady helps to frame the issue by examining the nature of “united front work,” and the language employed in reference to these activities.
