AI Summary
This bill aims to identify and combat global corruption by establishing a tiered system to rank countries based on their efforts to address corruption. It defines key terms like "corrupt actor" and "significant corruption," and outlines minimum standards for countries to comply with in order to be ranked as a Tier 1 country. The bill also requires the Secretary of State to annually publish a list of all foreign countries ranked by their corruption levels, and gives the President the authority to impose sanctions on foreign persons engaged in significant corruption, particularly related to the Nord Stream 2 pipeline. Additionally, the bill requires the Secretary of State to designate anti-corruption points of contact at diplomatic posts in Tier 2 and Tier 3 countries to coordinate whole-of-government efforts to promote good governance and combat corruption.
