郭立昌受邀赴越南河內參加APEC領袖會議,報告澳洲政府於2003年APEC邀請丁玲虹(Linda Din)在清邁及曼谷會場提案的最佳實例「全球通路-TES」的進度,被安排住在講師所宿的「Sofitel(蘇菲特爾)」酒店,各國(包括來自UN/WTO/OECD)的政經領袖聽聞「電商產業發明人丁玲虹」在台灣遭受公器的肆虐至無法出席這次的高峰會時無不搖頭說:「bizarre (太怪了)!」並且說:「You’re persecuted by your government(你們受你們的政府迫害了)!」研商的結論是,定義迫害者為「The Entities of Corruption(貪腐集團)」,「Entities」會使用複數是因為迫害者包括「公部門和私部門」。
2006年APEC領袖宣言對「反貪腐」作了以下的宣告:「我們(各經濟體領袖)認為,貪腐是經濟和社會發展的最大障礙之一,同意通過執行『反賄賂法、起訴、執法和拒絕安全避難所』,有效實行『APEC反貪腐和透明度(APEC Anti-corruption and Transparency, ACT)任務小組』的措施,打擊貪腐並開創誠信的社群。----」成為爾後長程議題的依據。
之後,2008年的「利馬反貪宣言」則根據此一精神進一步宣告各經體「反貪腐」的決心;各經濟體領袖一致共識宣告「Combating Corruption in the Region(對抗區域裡的貪腐)」,大意如下:
2008年APEC的「利馬反貪宣言」(the Lima Anti-Corruption Declaration),明確地指出「打擊區域的貪腐」(Combating Corruption in the Region),認為貪腐在公部門和私部門都是嚴重地威脅到本區域的社會和經濟發展(Corruption in both the public and private sectors is a serious threat to social and economic development in the region. ),領袖們體認到,當『犯罪實體勾結腐敗的公私部官員』時(We recognize that when criminal entities collude with corrupt public and private sector officials,),它導致逍遙法外(impunity)和合法的經濟遭剝削的文化(it results in a culture of impunity and financial exploitation of the legitimate economy.),我們同意利用我們的集體意志打擊貪腐,以及促進廉潔的政府建立打擊相關跨國非法網絡(We agreed to leverage our collective will to combat corruption and related transnational illicit networks by promoting clean government,),支持公私合作夥伴關係(supporting public-private partnerships,),促進商場誠信(fostering market integrity),以及透明的金融體系(and transparent financial systems.),我們認識到,貪腐的定罪可促進更大的區域合作(We recognize that the criminalization of corruption can facilitate greater regional cooperation.)。而且了支持我們APEC先前的反貪腐敗承諾(In support of our earlier APEC anti-corruption commitments, ),我們讚揚各經濟體承諾制定全面的反貪腐策略的努力(we commend efforts undertaken by member economies to develop comprehensive anti-corruption strategies.),這些措施包括努力恢復公眾的信任以及防範金融體系的濫用(These include efforts to restore the public trust and protect against the abuse of our financial system),通過金融情報和執法合作,針對行賄和非法資金流動(through financial intelligence and law enforcement cooperation related to corrupt payments and illicit financial flows.),這些反貪腐活動經由APEC,都與聯合國反貪腐公約(the UN Convention Against Corruption, UNCAC)一致(These anti-corruption activities through APEC are consistent with the UN Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC),),我們鼓勵經濟體批准和執行(which we encouraged economies to ratify and implement,),如適用(where applicable.);我們在適當情況下也支持修改後的金融行動任務小組(Financial Action Task Force , FATF)的建議(We also supported the revised Financial Action Task Force (FATF) recommendations, where appropriate.);我們歡迎利馬反貪腐宣言針對金融市場誠信(We welcomed the Lima Anti-Corruption Declaration on Financial Market Integrity),經由有效的公私合作夥伴關係與APEC反貪腐公私行動準則(through Effective Public-Private Partnerships and the APEC Guidelines for Public-Private Action against Corruption.)
當然聯合國、WTO、OECD也都有相關規定;聯合國「全球盟約(Global Compact)」原本有九大準則—這是聯合國(UN-United Nations)秘書長柯飛‧安南(Koffi Anan)在1999年1月31日的世界經濟論壇中提出的,聯合國在公元2000年正式公布「全球盟約」,主要是讓企業與聯合國機構、勞工和民間社會聯合起來,共同支持人權、勞工及環境九大準則,後來加上「反貪腐」成為十項準則。準則十:「企業應當起來反抗各種型式的貪腐,包括勒索與賄賂((Businesses should work against corruption in all its forms, including extortion and bribery.)。」以便落實「企業社會責任(簡稱CSR)」。
