Wikileaking : the ethics of secrecy and exposure
WikiLeaks is famous--or infamous--for publishing secret material, including classified government documents, confidential videos and emails, and information leaked by whistleblowers, some of them anonymous, others revealing their identities. WikiLeaks claims to have compiled a database of more than ten million \"forbidden\" documents. Its founder and leader, Australian activist Julian Assange proclaims that the public is entitled to the truth and that \"information wants to be free.\" --Publisher

STANDARDUL EUROPEAN ȘI NAȚIONAL DE PROTECȚIE A AVERTIZORULUI ÎN INTERES PUBLIC
It is commonly known that the whistleblower suffers from public disgrace. In defiance of his important role for the preservation of the public interest, he does not have a privileged place in society and in the professional field. Therefore, we find necessary that he finds a statute at the juridical level and consequently an emerging protection. We state that the European Court of Human Rights forged some important instruments for his necessary protection. Moreover, at the European level, the Directive (EU) 2019/1937 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2019 on the protection of persons who report breaches of Union law, transposed at the national level, provided some minimum criteria commonly for all the member states.

Whistleblowing as a Protracted Process: A Study of UK Whistleblower Journeys
This paper provides an exploration of whistle-blowing as a protracted process, using secondary data from 868 cases from a whistleblower advice line in the UK. Previous research on whistleblowing has mainly studied this phenomenon as a one-off decision by someone perceiving wrongdoing within an organisation to raise a concern or to remain silent. Earlier suggestions that whistleblowing is a process and that people find themselves inadvertently turned into whistleblowers by management responses, have not been followed up by a systematic study tracking the path of how a concern is repeatedly raised by whistleblowers. This paper provides a quantitative exploration of whistleblowing as a protracted process, rather than a one-off decision. Our research finds that the whistleblowing process generally entails two or even three internal attempts to raise a concern before an external attempt is made, if it is made at all. We also find that it is necessary to distinguish further between different internal (e.g. line manager, higher management, specialist channels) as well as external whistleblowing recipients (e.g. regulators, professional bodies, journalists). Our findings suggest that whistleblowing is a protracted process and that this process is internally jnore protracted than previously documented. The overall pattern is that whistleblowers tend to search for a more independent recipient at each successive attempt to raise their concern. Formal whistleblower power seems to determine which of the available recipients are perceived as viable and also what the initial responses are in terms of retaliation and effectiveness.

Whistleblowing Triangle\: Framework and Empirical Evidence
This work empirically tests the concept of the 'whistleblowing triangle,' which is modeled on the three factors encapsulated by the fraud triangle (pressure or financial incentives, opportunity and rationalization), in the Indonesian context. Anchored in the proposition of an original research framework on the whistleblowing triangle and derived hypotheses, this work aims to expand the body of knowledge on this topic by providing empirical evidence. The sample used is taken from audit firms affiliated with both the big 4 and non-big 4 companies operating in Indonesia. The results of analysis using the PLS-PM method found a significant relationship between the components of the whistleblowing triangle and the intention of blowing the whistle. We found that financial incentives are the most significant predictor of auditors' intention to blow the whistle in Indonesia. Other components, such as opportunity and rationalization, also play an important role in supporting auditors' intention to blow the whistle. Our findings also suggest that related pressures are the top priority for audit firms in Indonesia to consider in increasing whistleblowing intention. We expand the previous literature on whistleblowing which has been derived from the components of the fraud triangle (Brown et al. in Account Public Interest 16(1):28-56, 2016; Smaili and Arroyo in J Bus Ethics, https://doi.org/10.1007/sl0551-017-3663-7, 2017) by adding empirical evidence.
