The noble aims of the United Nations to protect human rights and establish global peace and security can only be achieved if the UN personnel can safely speak up about corruption and wrongdoing inside the UN itself.
This book documents how the UN falls short of self regulation in the public interest when protection of whistleblowers, in most cases, is a myth.
The powerful experiences of UN whistleblowers: Anders Kompass, Cynthia Brzak, Sima Newell, Frank Montil and Caroline Hunt- Matthes and the perspectives of their global lawyer/advocates Bea Edwards and Ed Flaherty make sobering and gripping reading.
This testimony is a tribute to the courage …. in the face of retaliation of the UN’s front-line human rights defenders – its staff.
