Resource Guide on Good Practices in the Protection of Reporting Persons

The Guide explains why encouraging and protecting those persons who report information about alleged cases of corrupt conduct are a key element in tackling corruption. It is intended to serve as a resource for States parties in implementing their obligations under the Convention in relation to assisting and protecting persons, whether members of the public or whistleblowers typically understood to be persons working within an organization (public or private) or industry where wrongdoing is occurring. Taking a robust approach to this issue as a matter of law, policy and to protect the public interest will help States, authorities and organizations in all sectors detect and prosecute wrongdoers and, importantly, help prevent corruption from taking root in the first place.
