On March 26 and 27, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is hosting its annual Global Anti-Corruption & Integrity Forum in Paris, France. The event is a gathering of leaders from government, civil society, and the private sector to discuss the global fight against corruption.
Once again, whistleblowing, including the protections countries must enact, will be a major topic of the forum.
On March 25, National Whistleblower Center (NWC) is presenting an official side event entitled “Empowering Whistleblowers: Strengthening Protections in the Fight Against Corruption.”
The panel will examine recent changes in global anti-corruption enforcement, such as President Trump’s pause on Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) investigations, which have created a crisis in international anti-corruption efforts. The panel will discuss how international whistleblower protections, including those of OECD member countries, must be strengthened in order to effectively prosecute international bribery and money laundering.
The event is free to the public and will be streamed online Tuesday, March 25, at 6:30 AM EST/11:30 AM CET.
