How is India Violating UN Convention on Corruption
*This is a working document*
Definition from UN - Ratify/Ratification: 'Ratification' is an act by which a State signifies an agreement to be legally bound by the terms of a particular treaty. To ratify a treaty, the State first signs it and then fulfils its own national legislative requirements. Once the appropriate national organ of the country – Parliament, Senate, the Crown, Head of State or Government, or a combination of these – follows domestic constitutional procedures and makes a formal decision to be a party to the treaty. The instrument of ratification, a formal sealed letter referring to the decision and signed by the State's responsible authority, is then prepared and deposited with the United Nations Secretary-General in New York.
So, Indian parliament agreed to ratify and was done on May 8 2011. But where are the national legislative requirements to meet the needs of the convention?
In this 7/4/11 dated document UN has notified that from 8 June 2011, India is now bound to follow the convention. http://treaties.un.org/doc/Publication/CN/2011/CN.260.2011-Eng.pdf
