This document summarizes Mark Worth's presentation on whistleblower protection at an OECD conference in Paris. It outlines how many countries have passed whistleblower protection laws since the late 1980s and 2000s in response to scandals. However, most of these laws still lack adequate protections and enforcement mechanisms. The document then provides examples of whistleblowers in various countries who were reinstated or received compensation after facing retaliation, demonstrating that cultural attitudes can change with media exposure, public support, and adaptive training by governments. It argues a combined bottom-up and top-down strategy is needed to continue improving whistleblower laws and protections.

• Changes in public opinion / perceptions
• Public support –> political cover to politicians
• Gateway: it only takes one – have to go through it
• Governments are adapting / training themselves

• Learning / Telling / Doing

There has been a time

The document summarizes a seminar held by the OECD on revisiting whistleblower protection. The seminar consisted of three sessions exploring key issues around ensuring legal protection for whistleblowers, designing effective protection mechanisms, and changing cultural attitudes towards whistleblowing. Speakers in the sessions included representatives from government agencies and non-profits working on anti-corruption and transparency issues. The goal of the seminar was to advance the policy debate and identify best practices for providing clear procedures and effective protection to encourage whistleblowing.

Introduction to the third Brussels Development Briefing: Aid for Trade

Euforic Services

This document summarizes a briefing session on Aid for Trade (AfT) that took place in Brussels on December 5th, 2007. The objectives of the meeting were to raise awareness of challenges facing AfT for African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries, promote information sharing, and feed into debates on how the European Commission can improve AfT interventions in ACP nations. The target audience included ACP and EU policymakers, as well as representatives from civil society, the private sector, international organizations, and researchers based in Brussels. Two panels discussed the AfT agenda and financial resources/impacts, with the goal of examining ACP stakeholder involvement in AfT initiatives. Supporting materials on the topic were made available

This document summarizes a presentation on preventing abuse of non-profit organizations (NPOs) for financing terrorism. It discusses the importance of NPO accountability and independence from governments. Effective oversight requires risk-based proportional measures and respect for civil society. Self-regulation through codes of conduct and independent third-party monitoring is emphasized over direct state regulation. Financial institutions should not restrict legitimate NPO activities, and states should facilitate rather than limit civil society. Overall independent self-regulation can strengthen transparency while protecting NPO operations.

TI Whistleblowing In Europe 2013

Mark Worth

Whistleblowing in Europe provides an assessment of whistleblower protection laws in the 27 EU member countries. It finds that only 4 countries - Luxembourg, Romania, Slovenia, and the UK - have advanced legal frameworks, while 16 have partial protections and 7 have limited or no laws. Many existing laws contain loopholes, leaving whistleblowers unprotected. The report calls on all EU countries to strengthen legal protections and public appreciation of whistleblowers to encourage reporting of corruption and wrongdoing.

The training is designed to help organizations mitigate risks and demonstrate having adequate procedures to prevent bribery.

The Corporate Social Responsibilities of Financial Institutions for the Condu...

Larry Catá Backer

Abstract: Corporate social responsibility (CSR) can be split along two distinct lines. The first touches on the nature of corporate personality and is rooted in domestic law regulating enterprises specifically and legal persons generally. The second touches on the nature of the rights of individuals and is rooted in international law (and sometimes domestic constitutional law) defining the scope of the human rights of individuals and the consequential obligations of states and legal persons. Both conversations intertwine though they tend to operate autonomously. In both cases, however, the traditional focus of corporate responsibility has focused on the relationship between an operating company and its direct effects on individuals, society and the environment. That discussion remains contentious, conflicted and unresolved. But it ignores a critical actor—the financial institutions which provide operating capital to enterprises. This paper considers the corporate social responsibilities of financial institutions, including sovereign wealth funds, for the conduct of their borrowers. The focus will be the extent of any duty or responsibility of lenders to ensure that their borrowers comply with CSR obligations (or alternatively conforms to international human rights standards) as a core aspect of their own CSR obligations (or alternatively) of their responsibility to respect human rights. Section II examines the general regulatory framework. There are two aspects that are relevant. The first is to understand the scope and character of the legal norms that may be applied to enterprises generally with respect to their operation’s that might be understood as CSR-human rights related in nature. The second is to consider the range of non-legal normative governance rules that might apply. In the process it will be important to distinguish between a CSR based regulatory approach and a human rights based approach. Section III considers the application of these norms to financial institutions. This requites distinguishing between those obligations that apply to the internal operations of financial institutions generally, and those obligations that apply to the financial institution’s obligations with respect to its lending activities, that is with respect to its relationship with its borrowers. The essay ends with a brief examination of recent cases in which financial institutions undertook such a responsibility, and the ways in which that obligation was undertaken. Three different types of institutions are considered—private banks, sovereign wealth funds and international financial institutions (IFIs). The paper ends with a preliminary consideration of the consequences of this movement for domestic CSR in the U.S.

Navigating the Insurance Act

Eversheds Sutherland

Simon Brooks from law firm Eversheds Sutherland gave a presentation on major changes to UK insurance law from the Insurance Act 2015. The new law introduces a duty of fair presentation of risk that requires insureds to disclose all material information to insurers. It also changes remedies for breach to include proportionate reductions in claims instead of automatic avoidance of the policy. Warranties will now be treated as suspensory conditions so coverage isn't voided for unrelated breaches. The changes aim to make disclosure obligations and consequences more proportionate and fair.

TacklingPovertyNZ Sustaining and Empowering Factors Framework

Wendy McGuinness

At each of the TacklingPovertyNZ 2016 national tour workshop, participants were asked to develop specific, actionable suggestions for how to address poverty. As a result of the tour’s six workshops, 240 ‘hows’ were identified. In the process of reviewing the ‘hows’, we created the Sustaining and Empowering Factors Framework. This framework enabled us to divide the 240 ‘hows’ to correspond with sustaining factors (which relate to an individual’s short-term survival and security needs) and empowering factors (which relate to the empowerment of an individual, community or nation). We then grouped these ‘hows’ by similarity, producing 33 sub-factors for analysis (see column on the right). The sub-factors are terms we have created to align with the voices we heard on tour.

This document summarizes an upcoming conference on anti-bribery and corruption. The conference will feature over 25 industry speakers and panels from government agencies, law enforcement, and private companies. It will provide a practical roadmap for combating bribery and corruption through sessions on risk management, compliance plans, whistleblowing, and investigations. Interactive workshops will allow attendees to learn from case studies and real experiences. The goal is for attendees to gain knowledge and strategies to strengthen their anti-corruption programs and reduce exposure to bribery.

State Aid and Tax Rulings

39 Essex Chambers

This document discusses State Aid under EU law. State Aid refers to assistance from Member State resources that distorts competition. It is prohibited under Article 107 TFEU, subject to exceptions under Articles 107(2) and 107(3). The European Commission reviews existing aid and can require states to alter or abolish aid that distorts competition. If states do not comply, the Commission can refer them to the European Court of Justice. State aid decisions can result in recovery orders requiring repayment of illegal aid over 10 years with interest. The document then discusses applications to tax, including tax rulings challenged by the Commission, and achieving certainty in state aid decisions going forward.

Internet Governance Model in Taiwan

Kenny Huang Ph.D.

This document discusses various models for internet governance and cybersecurity regimes. It begins by outlining different public goods governance models including state regulation, cooperation, private self-regulation, co-regulation, and delegation. It then examines the "shadow of hierarchy" and its implications for governments and non-state actors. Next, it addresses issues with private self-regulation such as monopoly power and the potential for regulatory competition. It also discusses multistakeholder and multilateral models. The document concludes by posing questions about regional internet registry governance and outlining components of an effective national cybersecurity strategy model and power hierarchy principles.

OECD Governance

This document summarizes the key findings from a progress report by the OECD on implementing principles for transparency and integrity in lobbying. The main points are: 1) There is growing concern about undue influence in policymaking from lobbying in many countries. However, the majority of OECD countries still do not regulate lobbying. 2) In recent years, more countries have introduced lobbying regulations, though the process has often been reactive to scandals rather than proactive. Transparency of lobbying varies significantly between countries. 3) The OECD principles provide guidance to countries on improving transparency and integrity in lobbying. Implementation of the principles remains a work in progress, with ongoing challenges around compliance, enforcement and measuring costs and benefits

O'Carroll Report, The One Foundation, Ireland, 2013

eBOCarroll

This evaluation analyzes the outcomes of The One Foundation's investments in advocacy work in Ireland from 2004-2013. It focuses on three advocacy goals: making children's rights real, making immigrant rights real, and building political will on mental health reform. The One Foundation invested approximately €15 million (20% of its total funding) in these areas. The evaluation found that grantee organizations were successful in achieving incremental policy changes through advocacy efforts, such as advancing children's rights in the Irish constitution and improving protections for immigrant workers. While progress was made, continued advocacy is still needed due to challenges implementing reforms. The report provides details on the advocacy approaches and achievements of specific grantees like the Children's Rights Alliance and Migrant Rights Centre Ireland

The document discusses Louisiana's Complete Streets policy, which aims to address infrastructure issues and improve pedestrian and cycling safety. Following devastating hurricanes in 2005, Louisiana had over $12 billion in needed road repairs. In 2009, the Louisiana Department of Transportation convened a work group to develop a Complete Streets policy to consider all road users and recommend future actions. However, pedestrian fatalities remained high, indicating more safety measures were needed in city planning. The policy aims to improve infrastructure while enhancing safety for all modes of transportation.

GLOBAL ISSUES AND GLOBAL PUBLIC ADMINISTRATIONINTRODUCTION.docx

whittemorelucilla

GLOBAL ISSUES AND GLOBAL PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION INTRODUCTION Understanding the interrelationships between public administration and global issues is an unavoidable necessity to anyone in a leadership position in this profession. Wealth and poverty, environmental stewardship, and gender equality are but some of the topics that could be explored under the broad topic of global issues. WEALTH AND POVERTY The complexity of poverty creates many challenges for public administrators and policy makers. Long- term improvement in living standards for people living in the poorest nations is affected by many issues. Public administration at the national level for these countries can be affected by corruption, inexperience, or lack of access to resources. Politics, civil constructs, outside economic forces, and even geography and climate can affect the creation and distribution of wealth in a country. POPULATION Policy action to simply reduce population can be received in many different ways and not all are positive. Rather than simply working to reduce population, the United Nations and many governments look now toward more specific goals. Much of the current work in population control addresses reproductive rights, HIV/AIDS prevention and education, and the increase of life expectancy and reduction in infant mortality. One strategy employed by the United Nations Population Fund is the application of population data in to poverty reduction efforts. FOOD The World Health Organization estimates that one-third of the world is well-fed, one-third is underfed one-third is starving—and over four million will die this year as a result. Starvation and malnutrition are not only personal tragedies, they are also significant burdens to national economic development. While one cannot put a dollar amount on suffering, economists estimate that the effects of malnutrition cost an individual 5-10 percent of potential earnings over his or her life. Not only does this hold the person back, it also helps maintain the cycle of poverty so many developing nations are trying to break. P r i n t C r e d i t s ENERGY Many scientists and other experts tell us that current energy use is unsustainable. Gasoline for our automobiles, home heating fuels in the form of natural gas and heating oil, and coal-based electricity all come with higher and higher costs—some apparent and some hidden. Policy makers need to consider the economic dangers inherent in the dependence on a potentially unreliable resource. So many aspects of the economy—worker transportation, movement of raw materials and finished goods, and the production of petroleum based products such as plastics, pesticides and even pharmaceuticals—are deeply dependent upon fossil fuels with that dependency is risk that the policy makers must address. THE ENVIRONMENT The state of the environment and the impact of human activity on the environment have become major issues in public and policy debat ...

THE MDGS THROUGH SOCIO-ECONOMIC RIGHTS

endpoverty2015

Many countries are writing new constitutions. This provides an important opportunity to enshrine the basic human rights of all citizens. Despite the rhetoric on the indivisibility of human rights, while most constitutions recognise civil and political rights as fundamental, they place economic and social rights under ‘directive principles’ of state policy, making them less ‘justiciable’. However, some countries have constitutions that guarantee specific socio-economic rights, and the challenge is to make sure that citizens are able to exercise these constitutional rights.

This document discusses innovations in promoting rule of law, justice, and human rights. It notes several recent reports on these topics and outlines challenges including rigid normative frameworks, disjointed programming responses, and limited funding. It introduces the Human Rights Lab (HuRiLab) initiative to promote social innovation in these areas through civic engagement. Examples are given of using technology and online tools to improve access to justice for marginalized groups and to make public services and participation more inclusive. The timing is seen as opportune for new approaches to address issues like social justice, human dignity, and harnessing the potential of increased connectivity.
