Authors | Lewis, D. |
Abstract | In its Second Evaluation Report (2003–06), the Group of States against Corruption, a body set up in 1999 to monitor compliance with Council of Europe's anti-corruption legal instruments, noted that staff who reported cases of corruption in public administration received no special protection. On 14 September 2009, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) published a report from the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights entitled ‘The protection of whistleblowers’ and on 29 April 2010 PACE passed Recommendation 1916 and Resolution 1729 calling on member states to review their legislation on this subject. This note analyses these new sources, with a special focus on how they interact with current UK law. |
