Putting Teeth into Enforcing Anti-Corruption Law. A Statement of the National Whistleblower Center submitted to the 11th UNCAC Conference of State Parties<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are at a turning point in combatting transnational corruption. Highly effective
laws enhancing enforcement and whistleblower protections have resulted in the
successful prosecution of large and powerful corrupt actors. When properly used,
these laws have obtained historic results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, most State Parties have not implemented these laws. Likewise, most
human rights defenders are not aware of how these laws can be used. The result is
troubling. The vast majority of whistleblowers who could be covered under these
laws are going unprotected. Most corrupt activities that could be confidentially
reported are allowed to flourish. Corruption remains under-prosecuted and
undetected. The bad actors win, while whistleblowers face relentless retaliation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The National Whistleblower Center (NWC) has submitted a proposal to implement the best practices used in successful anti-corruption enforcement actions. See,
