  "summary": "The Convention on the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD Convention) is a global supranational meta-framework foundational-OECD-treaty framework adopted by the 20 founding states in Paris — structurally distinctive globally as the only modern advanced-economies supranational binding-treaty framework operating on formal advanced-economy-club membership framework (OECD Convention signed 14 December 1960 in Paris France + effective 30 September 1961 + OEEC predecessor founded 16 April 1948 + OECD founded 30 September 1961 — formal foundational OECD treaty framework establishing comprehensive OECD organisation framework, distinct from rest-of-modern-supranational-treaty frameworks which operate as universal-membership frameworks, structurally distinctive globally as the only modern advanced-economies supranational binding-treaty framework operating formal advanced-economy-club membership framework via formal accession-process framework + OECD evolved from OEEC framework managing post-WWII Marshall Plan + only modern supranational binding-treaty framework operating formal soft-law peer-review framework + only modern supranational binding-treaty framework operating formal OECD Council Recommendations framework), as the central jurisdiction of the formal OECD Anti-Bribery Convention 1997 framework (Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions adopted 21 November 1997 + effective 15 February 1999 providing formal foreign-bribery criminalisation framework — formal foundational anti-bribery framework, structurally distinctive globally as the only modern supranational binding-treaty framework operating formal foreign-bribery criminalisation framework + precursor framework to UNCAC 2003), as the central jurisdiction of the formal OECD BEPS Inclusive Framework framework (OECD/G20 Base Erosion and Profit Shifting BEPS Project launched 2013 + Inclusive Framework on BEPS established 2016 + Pillar 1 + Pillar 2 framework adopted 8 October 2021 by 137 jurisdictions + Pillar 2 15% global minimum tax effective 1 January 2024 — formal foundational global-minimum-tax framework, structurally distinctive globally as the only modern supranational binding-treaty framework operating formal global-minimum-tax framework), and as the central jurisdiction of the formal OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises framework (OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises first adopted 1976 + most-recent update 2023 providing formal MNE responsible-business-conduct framework — formal foundational MNE soft-law framework, structurally distinctive globally as the only modern supranational framework operating formal MNE responsible-business-conduct framework with National Contact Points NCPs framework). The OECD Convention is binding upon 38 OECD member states + accession-candidate countries Argentina + Brazil + Bulgaria + Croatia + Indonesia + Peru + Romania as of 2026 — comprehensive advanced-economies coverage framework. The Convention is silent on 'parental alienation' as a statutory label, though formal OECD family-policy framework operates substantial intersection with parental-alienation framework via formal OECD Family Database + OECD work-family-reconciliation framework. The OECD Council + OECD Secretariat + OECD Secretary-General are the formal OECD bodies; national-level apex courts operate as judicial bodies. The OECD Convention is silent on 'parental alienation' as a statutory label.",
