Subject: Critical exposition of whistle blowing
A whistleblower is a person, typically an employee, who discloses unlawful, illegal, unsafe, or worthless
information or conduct within a private, public, or government institution. Fraud, or the
misappropriation of public monies. Whistleblowers have the option of disclosing information or
allegations either internally or outside. Protection for whistleblowers is an essential anti-corruption
weapon. Countries, including EU member states, have dealt with the system differently, if at all. Public
employees who reveal evidence that leads to corruption investigations and indictments should be
protected. Such systems are most effective when their legal basis is well-defined and consistent. The
success of the implemented public sector anti-corruption fight depends on whistleblower protection,
especially in countries where public sector corruption is as systemic and endemic as it is in the eastern.
However, in this controversial subject I am in favor of the whistleblowers who let the world know about
bad practices and unlawful activities as unethical or illegal activities should never be promoted to assure
the betterment of society and nation. Disclosing information of an organization is not right but if the
organization is doing wrong for their own benefit then as a citizen of this country, I believe this is my
duty to let people know about the fraud, forgery and corruption. The main argument in favor of
informant protection was that protection would promote transparency in the public and private sector,
thereby discouraging corruption. International efforts to promote such a system have been strongly
pursued by some governments, intergovernmental organizations and NGOs alike. International and
national legal regulations have been created to serve as a guide or model creating an effective
whistleblower protection system. Legal models and good practices exist around the world, including in
the European Union member however, the absence of political will and public pressure is preventing this
most of the EU members have taken steps in the right direction. Their attitude so far shows the inaction
of the European Commission. It remains reluctant to make au European whistleblower program that
would reform EU law and thereby force the EU members to comply with international standards and
requirements. International pressure will eventually lead to the legal creation of the European Union
Framework for protection of whistleblowers.
