The Government has approved the draft law on whistle-blowers to establish an effective mechanism for denouncing corruption and protecting information sources which will encourage the denunciation of illegal practices and other disclosures of public interest.

The draft law establishes how to refer to illegal practices in public and private entities, the procedure for their examination, the rights of whistle-blowers and the protection measures, the obligations of employers, the powers of the authorities responsible for examining such disclosures and the safeguards of whistle-blowers.

The document was elaborated in order to implement the National Integrity and Anti-Corruption Strategy for the years 2017-2020, as well as to harmonize the legislative framework of Moldova with the international standards in the field.
