On 18 June 2014, Pakhuis de Zwijger in Amsterdam will serve as the venue for the International Whistleblowers Conference 2014. During this conference, we will be combining a wide range of legal, technological and media perspectives to arrive at new approaches, strategies and concrete solutions to protect whistleblowers.
Are the media able – and willing – to protect their sources in the information age? How do national laws relate to European legislation and international agreements, and can they effectively shield whistleblowers against reprisals? Which technological solutions and alternative channels are currently available? These and other questions will be examined by a host of experts and professionals during a day full of interesting workshops and debates. In the evening, we will zoom in on the most prominent whistleblowing case of recent years – Edward Snowden’s disclosures about global surveillance – and the consequences of his revelations at the national and international level.
The International Whistleblowers Conference 2014 is organised by Network Democracy, Free Press Unlimited and the Netherlands Whistleblower Advice Centre, in partnership with the Whistleblowing International Network (WIN) and the Hermes Centre for Transparency and Human Rights.
