我國禁止行賄外國公務員法制之探討

近年有關禁止行賄外國公務員之議題已受到國際社會重視，尤其當美國政府對於連反海外反貪腐法(Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, FCPA)之執法地域範圍從歐美擴及於亞洲時，我國企業及科技公司應更加重視企業行賄外國公務員之防制以降低相關法律風險。然而，過去我國肅貪政策係以公部門貪腐防制為重心。雖然我國於2003年將行賄外國公務員行為刑罰化，惟從防制跨國賄賂犯罪與提升企業競爭力之角度而言，現行法存有許多疑義尚待釐清，並使得我國企業無妥適之法律制度可資遵循。本文旨在探討我國禁止行賄外國公務員規範與實務之相關問題，並嘗試從美國法觀點與實證質性研究分析我國防制行賄外國公務員及企業道法應有之制度內涵，以及提出立法政策建議，以兼顧打擊跨國行賄與保障企業利益之目的。
