Financial Regulation International
Calling for the creation of an "International Office of the Whistleblower"
by Aristeidis Danikas
Whistleblowing is a vital tool in combating corruption and promoting transparency within both the public and private sectors.
It allows individuals to expose misconduct, fraud or illegal activities that would otherwise go unnoticed. The significance
of whistleblowing cannot be understated, as it serves as a mechanism for accountability and safeguarding the public's interests.
However, despite its crucial role in fighting corruption globally, there are still numerous challenges faced by national regulatory
authorities in effectively addressing whistleblowing cases.
1 To overcome these obstacles and ensure comprehensive protection for whistleblowers, there is a pressing need for the creation
of an international treaty for an office of the whistleblower, specifically dedicated to regulating those challenges.
