Abstract:

Whistleblowers take it upon themselves to protect public goods and resources by blowing the whistle on corruption. Yet, they are at risk of facing retaliation from their employers, as well as of experiencing firing, unfair appraisal, and isolation at work. In this article, we investigate the extent of whistleblower protection in Jordan. We discuss whistleblowers’ significant role in reporting wrongdoings and fighting corruption, as well as the price that whistleblowers pay to protect the public interest. In this study, we used the protection analysis approach by identifying the potential risks to which whistleblowers are exposed. Specifically, we used official documents analysis. The results are based on the analysis of Jordanian laws and policies, regional and international conventions, the investigation of whistleblower cases in the media, transparency international reports, and the Jordan Transparency Center. The review of spoken whistleblower cases revealed that legal policies stipulate protection; still, whistleblowers in Jordan face retaliation. We recommend considering judicial review to close the loopholes and to include protection principles into the rules of organizations’ procedures to provide better guarantees for protecting whistleblowers in Jordan.

Abstract:

AbstractIt is often claimed that rewards for whistleblowers lead to fraudulent reports, but for several US programs this has not been a major problem. We model the interaction between rewards for whistleblowers, sanctions against fraudulent reporting, judicial errors, and standards of proof in the court case on a whistleblower’s allegations and the possible follow-up for fraudulent allegations. Balancing whistleblower rewards, sanctions against fraudulent reports, and courts’ standards of proof is essential for these policies to succeed. When the risk of retaliation is severe, larger rewards are needed and so are tougher sanctions against fraudulent reports. The precision of the legal system must be sufficiently high, hence these programs are not viable in weak institution environments, where protection is imperfect and court precision low, or where sanctions against false reporting are mild.

Abstract:

The role of the whistleblower is significant in uncovering a case because many cases are not revealed. After all, no one reports or becomes a whistleblower. A whistleblower is legally protected and cannot be prosecuted civilly or criminally. Although currently, there is a Witness and Victim Protection Agency that carries out the task of protecting witnesses and victims, the Witness and Victim Protection Agency have not yet reached out to whistleblowers. The protection is given to whistleblowers only reduces punishment if the whistleblower is involved in the reported case or witnesses the perpetrator. The form of protection given to whistleblowers is legal and unique, and protection is not provided if the witness does not give testimony in good faith. So it is necessary to revise the Criminal Procedure Code and the Law on the Protection of Witnesses and Victims so that the whistleblower who is a witness to the perpetrator is included as one who should be protected by both criminal charges, even though he is the perpetrator and not only reduces the sentence.

Abstract:

This research analyses the gaps and weaknesses in the existing legislative framework for whistleblower protection in Malaysia. The study found two main issues in the Malaysian Whistleblower Protection Act 2010 dealing with the disclosure of wrongdoings. They are the limited disclosure channel and an act of disclosure of information is an offence under other legislation. The protection for whistleblowers becomes vulnerable with the current restraints. Whistleblowing has significantly become one of the critical requirements in society as a medium to curb corruption. By analysing the weaknesses of this Act, the research contributes to the body of knowledge and plays a critical role in proposing to the policymakers for advocating some enhancement in the future for the sake of a whistleblower’s safety. The research adopts doctrinal and qualitative methodology. A content analysis through analytical legal approach is employed by examining the Malaysian existing law. A brief reference analysis is conducted on the United Kingdom Public Interest Disclosure Act 2010 and the Employment Act 1996. Thus, salient improvements of law provisions are recommended to better regulate the existing laws in Malaysia. The findings demonstrate the need for practical strength of amendments to protect the whistleblower due to unpredictable consequences. To date, potential whistleblowers are discouraged from disclosing information if the system is incapable of protecting them from fearing a backlash against them. The proposals suggested changes to the legislation to provide a good practice of guidance in handling concerns of wrongdoings.

Abstract:

2074 Background: Some clinicians have reported initial series of severe or fatal adverse drug reactions (ADRs) that affected large hematology-oncology patient numbers and for which pharmaceutical manufacturers subsequently paid large settlements or fines for allegedly failing to inform physicians about such ADRs. Based on their large human costs ( > 1,000 serious illnesses or deaths) and large financial costs ( > $100 million in settlements or fines), we have termed these ADRs as titanic ADRs. At a Senate hearing on one titanic, Vioxx, (a COX-2 inhibitor that was evaluated for colorectal cancer prevention), the clinician reporter was termed a “whistleblower” by a senator although this individual had not filed a formal whistleblower lawsuit. We identified physicians who would fit this characterization of whistleblowers and had published titanic hematology-oncology ADR reports in high impact journals. Methods: Hematology-oncology titanic ADRs were identified by collaborators with two NIH-funded drug safety networks (RADAR and SONAR (1998-2019)). Exclusion criteria included having also filed a whistleblower lawsuit. Qualitative research analyses evaluated content of statements made by whistleblowers to national reporters or at congressional hearings. Results: 18 physicians who reported titanic hematology/oncology-associated ADRs in peer-reviewed literature and discussed their findings in national news media outlets are included. Titanic ADRs included death, nephrogenic systemic fibrosis, coronary artery disease, and venous thromboembolism related to COX-2 inhibitors, heparin, gadolinium dye, thalidomide, lenalidomide, epoetin, and darbepoetin. Related financial settlements ranged from $100 million to $4.85 billion. Whistleblowers were from the United States, Denmark, and Germany. Primary motivations were public health and medical awareness. Whistleblowers reported having gone through lawsuits and having had executives request that the whistleblowers’ university terminate employment. One whistleblower was quoted saying “I believe that the lawsuit is an attempt to silence me.” Conclusions: Clinician whistleblowers of titanic hematology-oncology ADRs experienced reputational, financial, and personal threats. Motivations for reporting titanic ADRs were mainly public health and medical awareness focused. This differs from our previous study on clinicians publishing on non-titanic ADRs, where the primary motivation was scientific curiosity.

Abstract:

On October 23, 2019, the European Union adopted the Directive on protecting whistleblowers. The Directive was intended to be a groundbreaking tool in protecting whistleblowers. The Directive introduces essential and correct standards to protect the interests of the European Union and whistleblowers who report breaches of EU law. The whistleblower protection model is designed to go beyond any standards of whistleblower protections in the Member States. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of the Directive is difficult to assess without complete transposition in the Member States. The process did not end with the saying as of December 17, 2021 in Poland, which is only at the draft bill stage. The author notes that the Directive does not provide a comprehensive model for reporting irregularities, which results in an incomplete conceptualization of this institution.

Abstract:

Whistleblowing, once seen as a negative connotation, has now been embraced as a tool in order to uncover and combat misconduct. Those who partake in this endeavour are known as whistleblowers. Whistleblowers reveal wrongdoings within an institution to the public or to those who hold positions of authority. Whistleblowers ensure that these institutions be held accountable for their wrongful actions, as though there are laws to punish corporate wrongdoings, it might be useless if the wrongful acts are not discovered in the first place. (Oransky, 2018). With whistleblowing, this could help in almost guaranteeing that corporate misconduct would not go unpunished.To blow the whistle is never an easy decision to make, as there are risks of detrimental actions, or worse, againts the whistleblowers. (Westervelt, 2018). Hence, the introduction of whistleblower rewards would dull the sting of backlash, as well as ensuring that deserving whistleblowers receive the compensation that they deserve.

Abstract:

Without some of the important information brought into light by whistleblowers, many current scandals would not have occurred. If whistleblowing is brought into the public domain, it can introduce a previously unforeseen and incorrigible milestone in the biography of whistleblowers, leading to financial loss, loss of work, impact on private life, and even health. Even in situations where the whistleblower acts in good faith, he or she runs the risk of being publicly judged and having the personal reputation tarnished by lack of protection. The persons who have reported wrongdoing may even be driven to complete isolation or pay with their lives or those of their families. In view of this, the European Union has foreseen a better protection for whistleblowers in a new directive, which is to be implemented through a trilateral whistleblower system. The main new feature of the European Whistleblower Protection Directive is the obligation to establish internal whistleblower channels for legal entities in the public and private sectors with at least 50 or more employees. In the public sector, Member States may exempt cities with fewer than 10 000 inhabitants or fewer than 50 employees working in the public body from the obligation to establish whistleblowing channels. If the report to the company or public body is not successful, the whistleblower may report to the press. European legislators had until December 2021 to transpose the provisions of this directive into national whistleblower protection regulations. To date, not all States have accomplished this task.

Abstract:

Under senare år har allt fler företagsskandaler uppmärksammats i media. De som larmar om oegentligheterna kallas ofta för whistleblowers och de har fått en alltmer framträdande position, efter att ha fört en relativt anonym tillvaro. Vårt syfte med uppsatsen är att få en bild av dessa whistleblowers. Vi vill även ta reda på om de i viss mån ersatt revisorernas arbete när det gäller att avslöja bedrägerier. Vi har med hjälp av en kvalitativ undersökningsmetod genomfört intervjuer med personer som besitter kunskaper i ämnet och intervjuat whistleblowers som på olika sätt visat civilkurage. Det handlar om modiga människor som vågar stå för sina principer och som inte viker undan för konsekvenserna. De har alla öppenhjärtigt berättat om sina erfarenheter, vilket gett oss en djupare förståelse för ämnet. De flesta som blåser i visselpipan gör det för att uppmärksamma omgivningen på missförhållanden, och resultatet från vår undersökning tyder på att det fortfarande är förenat med vissa risker att göra det. Ledningen på företagen kan använda sig av metoder, som degradering, sämre lönevillkor och andra olika hämndaktioner för att bli av med oönskad personal. Ibland förekommer hot och trakasserier. Vi har inte hittat några belägg för att whistleblowers skulle ha ersatt revisorerna när det gäller att avslöja bedrägerier, de snarare kompletterar varandra. En revisor har inte möjlighet att granska alla bokföringstransaktioner i företag och kan då få god hjälp av anställda, som uppmärksammar om något inte står rätt till. En whistleblower har dock inte alltid goda avsikter, det finns de som blåser i visslan av andra skäl, som av avundsjuka eller av hämndbegär. Det finns mycket forskning som kan göras i ämnet. Vår empiriska undersökning är för begränsad för att vi ska kunna dra några generella slutsatser. Det går dock att skönja en större tilltro till whistleblowers och i företagen börjar ledningen att förstå vikten av att ha personer inom organisationen, som larmar när någonting är fel. De inser att negativ publicitet kan förhindras om problemen uppmärksammas inom organisationen först. Nyckelord: whistleblowers, civilkurage, mod.

Abstract:

Whistleblowers often report that they "had no choice" Aside from a few psychoanalytic studies, most whistleblowing research takes a post-positivist correlative approach seeking to identify likely antecedents to whistleblowing. Studies ignore the meaning of what the whistleblower is resisting, consequently missing what conditions might be contributing to individuals blowing the whistle on perceived wrongdoing. Organizational scholarship has begun to use Jungian interpretation; the author hypothesizes that this irresistible impulse is due to whistleblowers being sensitive to archetypal activity in Jung's collective unconscious, specifically a newly condensed form combining aspects of the Hero the seer and the Artist. In this frame, whlstleblowers are seen as countering the cultural repression of the light aspects of the Heraclean and the Jacobean Hero by embodying the re-emergent heroic Horus archetype, the Son and Champion of the Dark Queen. Within a theoretical framework that marries the principles of Jamesian pragmatism and critical theory, the archetypological approach priorizes an ethical teleology and allows for a flexible epistemology. The author has developed a distinctive method - the mytho-poetic analysis of social experience (MPASE) - to reveal new understandings from medical whistleblower narratives and dream reports. This method draws on abductive case study selection, Jungian amplification, Social Dreaming methodology and listening Post technique. Panel members of a Dream/Image Reflection Group free associate to excerpts from the whistleblower data, and then both sets of responses are subjected to the author's mytho-poetic amplification. Analysis highlights the importance of looking beyond organizational limits to the larger societal context in which organizations are embedded. This facilitates a recognition of the levels of misconduct that whistle blowers are resisting, and a way of comprehending the meaning of whistleblowing.

Abstract:

This paper examines the potential causal link between press freedom and the quality of whistleblower-protection, namely the quality of the legislation designed to protect whistleblowers, and it does this with an intensive case study of Botswana and South Africa. In order to isolate the causal chain the paper controls for democracy, economic development, dependence on aid, Internet access, natural resources and state transparency. The results show that there is a correlation between press freedom and protection of whistleblowers, however the causal link could not be isolated thus inviting for further research into the relationship. The paper contributes to the field of political science by providing insights into the largely under-researched relationship between press freedom and protection of whistleblowers.

Abstract:

Social media has recently expanded dramatically, as more people are using different media such as blogs, Facebook and Twitter, to express their opinions. This increases the possibilities to spread information and an unclear legal regulation in this area can create adverse consequences. Freedom of expression is a constitutional right, which forms an important cornerstone of a democratic society. Public employees’ freedom of communication means that they can submit information to the media, without fear of reprisals from the authorities. The right does not mean that it frees the employees from their duties of loyalty to their employer and to follow the employer's decisions and directives. This jurisprudential thesis aims to clarify the legal guidelines for a relatively talked about problem, concerning how freedom of expression restricts the duty of loyalty in the public sector. Initially, unlawful restrictions on public employees' speech is reported to give the reader a better understanding of what is legally permissible legal action for an employee to take in these contexts. From a legal dogmatic method, the applicable law will be analyzed and provide answers to my main question: Under what conditions can public employees express themselves in social media and how does these statements relate to the employee's freedom of expression and the duty of loyalty? Public employees’ has a relatively high ceiling, in terms of what they can express themselves about in social media, which is largely due to the freedom of expression restricts the duty of loyalty in the public sector. In my judgment, stronger protection for whistleblowers in the Swedish legal system is required, since many employees are afraid of becoming victims of reprisals. Introduction of an enlarged protection of integrity, outside the scope of the YGL and TF, may also be necessary, since many social media falls outside the database rule and if violation occurs here it lapse protection. A new fundamental law on freedom of expression (NYGL) will hopefully contribute to increased understanding of the guidelines on social media usage. In the future, employers should focus on clearer policy in this area and also a clearer understanding of why freedom of speech is so valuable.

Abstract:

Die term whistleblowing word universeel aanvaar en daar word ŉ verskeidenheid definisies aangetref. Die eindresultaat van elke definisie bly tog dieselfde en die belangrikste gevolgtrekking wat gemaak kan word is dat ŉ werknemer ŉ beskermde openbaring maak van ongerymdhede in die werkplek en dat hy sodoende beskerm moet word van enige beroepsnadeel. Die doel van ŉ beskermde openbaring lê in die feit dat dit die hoeksteen is waarop individuele verantwoordelikheid van werknemers gebou word. Verder vestig dit ŉ kultuur in die werkplek waar stappe geneem word deur die werkgewer om ongerymdhede te bekamp, deur ŉ beleid en prosedure in plek te stel. Die sukses van die bogenoemde sal dan tot gevolg hê dat werknemers en ook werkgewers ŉ punt daarvan sal maak om op te tree in die openbare belang. Die Wet op Arbeidsverhoudinge 66 van 1995 bepaal dat enige beroepsnadeel wat nie in ooreenstemming met die Wet op Beskermde Openbaarmakings 26 van 2000 is nie, onbillik sal wees. Beide hierdie wette se hoofdoel is om die werknemer te beskerm teen onbillike ontslag, en in die geval van die WBO, spesifiek vir die beskerming van ŉ werknemer wat ŉ beskermde openbaring maak. Die openbaring sal beskermd wees indien die inligting in goeie trou geopenbaar is en as die werknemer ŉ redelike geloof het dat die inhoud waar en korrek is. Die ontslag van ŉ werknemer wat ŉ beskermde openbaring maak, en aan die prosedures soos deur die WBO voorgeskryf voldoen, is egter outomaties onbillik volgens artikel 187(1)(h) van die WAV. Die bewyslas rus op die werknemer om te bewys dat daar ŉ kousale verband bestaan tussen die openbaring wat hy gemaak het en die ontslag of beroepsnadeel wat plaasgevind het. Die openbaarmaker het verskeie remedies tot sy beskikking, maar in die geval van ontslag kan die Arbeidshof ŉ bevel toestaan vir die herindiensneming en/of betaling van kompensasie aan die werknemer. Die doel van hierdie navorsingsvoorstel is om vas te stel wat werknemers se remedies is in die geval waar hulle onderwerp word aan beroepsnadeel as gevolg van die openbaring van inligting binne die werkplek. Hierdie studie sal gedoen word aan die hand van die Wet op Beskermde Openbaarmakings tesame met die Wet op Arbeidsverhoudinge deur die posisie van die werknemer te ontleed vanaf die tydstip toe hy bewus geword het van die inligting, totdat hy sy remedies uitgeoefen het. Daar sal deurlopend na wetgewing en regspraak verwys word om alle opinies en opmerkings te steun. Ten slotte sal daar kortliks vergelykings getref word met internasionale instrumente asook internasionale wetgewing.

The thesis deals with the study of legislative and theoretical issues of the administrative legal mechanism for protecting the rights of whistleblowers in Ukraine. The thesis research aims to improve the notions of "whistleblower" and "whistleblower reporting on corruption", "legal status of the whistleblower", "mechanism for protecting the rights of whistleblowers", "administrative legal methods for protecting the rights of whistleblowers", "administrative legal methods for protecting the rights of whistleblowers", etc. The thesis specifies the concept of the whistleblower, its rights and obligations, guarantees of activity and responsibilities. It is proposed to enshrine the exhaustive list of rights and obligations of the whistleblowers at the regulatory level. The principles of disclosure of corruption cases by whistleblowers are as follows: good faith; honesty; reliability; voluntary participation, and reasonability. It is argued that the whistleblower, as a person, acting warranted by law knowingly and voluntarily, exclusively in the interests of security and welfare of the society, having a reasonable belief that the information is reliable, reports violation of the law by another person, is the subject of police activity. The thesis determines the essence, elements, stages of the mechanism for the protection the rights of whistleblowers, and the place of administrative rules. A mechanism for protecting the rights of whistleblowers is disclosed as a separate area of the legal mechanism for ensuring human rights; as a whole, it is a combination of interconnected regulatory elements, with the help of which conditions and opportunities are created for the implementation and protection of the rights of whistleblowers. The stages and elements of the mechanism for protecting the rights of whistleblowers are highlighted. The thesis improves approaches to administrative legal methods for the protection of the rights of whistleblowers. The information support of administrative activities in the field of protecting the rights of whistleblowers in the public and private sectors is disclosed. The author investigates the powers of the National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption and the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights in the field of ensuring the rights of whistleblowers. Various types of public control over ensuring the rights of whistleblowers are characterized. The thesis considers the rights of whistleblowers as a component of the European administrative space. The experience of foreign countries in the legal regulation of the protection of the rights of whistleblowers is summarized. The thesis studies the policy of the European Union and the practice of the European Court of Human Rights in the field of protection of the rights of whistleblowers and proposes areas for using positive experience in Ukrainian lawmaking and law enforcement. The Directive of the European Parliament and the Union on the Protection of Persons Reporting on Breach of the Union Law, adopted in April 2019, was examined, and it was argued that Ukraine should in any form agree to be bound by the rules of this international treaty to create a national concept and further a strategy for ensuring the rights of whistleblowers. The practical significance of the thesis is reflected in the proposals for amendments and supplementation of a number of legislative acts in the terms of the legislative consolidation of the rights of the whistleblowers on the protection of health, life and property, as well as the right to free legal aid. For this purpose, it was proposed to introduce changes and additions to Part 1 of Article 14 of the Law of Ukraine "On Free Legal Aid" No. 3460-VI dated June 2, 2011, as well as Part 1 of Article 2 of the Law of Ukraine "On Ensuring the Safety of Persons Participating in Criminal Proceedings" No. 3782-XII dated December 23, 1993; to develop and adopt the Law of Ukraine "On Public Anti-Corruption Expertise"; to amend the questionnaire that is contained in the guidelines for organizing work with reporting on corruption by whistleblowers (decision of the National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption No. 286 dated July 6, 2017), the issue of evidence (written, electronic, photo, video, audio) and liability for knowingly false reports of a crime, with links to articles of the law with the mandatory indication of sanctions.

Abstract:

The very recent law of 21 March 2022 aims, according to its very title, to modify the existing whistleblowing system since the « Sapin II » law of 9 December 2016 in order to « improve the protection of whistleblowers ». This is what should be verified by taking as a field of analysis the breaches of scientific integrity in the academic world. Precisely because it oscillates continuously between simplification and complexity with regard to the organic, material and procedural requirements governing its application, this new law could, in spite of the effectively reinforced protection that it now grants to potential whistleblowers on both the professional and penal levels, actually reinforce them, like its predecessor, in terms of dissuasion.

Abstract:

This article explores the question of how sustainability and labour law are interrelated. The modern world of work is characterised by the growing social and environmental responsibility of companies. Especially in the post-COVID era, sustainability also plays an increasingly important role in the corporate context, which is also noticeable in the so-called ‘war for talent’. Achieving personal career goals is no longer enough for employees today. Corporate values and in particular the socalled ESG criteria (Environment, Social, Governance) are thus also becoming increasingly important in the employment relationship and in corporate reporting requirements. In terms of social sustainability, labour law instruments can, for example, promote the creation of a discrimination-free working environment, the introduction of flexible working time models or the protection of whistleblowers. From an ecological perspective, labour regulations are also suitable for implementing ‘green mobility’ and other measures to reduce companies’ ecological footprints. Working from home, which experienced a huge boom during the COVID-19 pandemic, is also sustainable, especially from an ecological point of view. Appropriate consideration of these sustainable work tools in future corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategies not only creates a competitive advantage but can also be beneficial in recruitment.

Abstract:

The advent of the Internet era has increased the ways for people to participate in political life and online media has become a force that cannot be ignored in fight against corruption. How to use social media for effective online anti-corruption constitutes a major problem. Based on the Multi-value set analysis method, this article analyzes the anti-corruption cases that have occurred on social networks from 2008 to the present. A total of three invalid paths and seven effective paths for Internet anti-corruption are obtained. The path is more effective that whistleblower has direct contact with the officials and the officials at the bureau rank. The whistleblower has no contact with the officials and the official’s rank is at low level, which is more likely to fail. The future development direction is to use technology to empower anti-corruption and to carry out anti-corruption through emerging social media. The government should take an institutionalized path to promote the sound operation of online anti-corruption.
