Report on the World Bank's whistleblower procedures

The Government Accountability Project (GAP) has released the "Vaughn Report", commissioned by the World Bank as a blueprint to modernize that institution's inadequate whistleblower protection policies. The recommendations of noted whistleblower law scholar Robert Vaughn of American University Law School incorporate "best practices" that were already adopted by the United Nations, approved by the Organization of American States to implement its Inter-American Convention Against Corruption, and enacted last fall as U.S. policy to strengthen anti-corruption efforts at all multilateral development banks (MDBs).
