Sri Lanka single bill / China ex-Interpol case / Pakistan-China-UAE anti-laundering agreement

Single legal instrument to combat corruption.  The Sectoral Oversight Committee on Legal Affairs (anti-corruption) and Media has agreed to consolidate all laws relating to bribery and corruption, and to formulate a comprehensive single piece of legislation that will encompass all offenses and standards according to the UNCAC, hopefully by early next year.
