Work in progress, challenges and the way forward 2017, para. 64
Paragraph
Paragraph text
The Special Rapporteur also considers it important to increase contact with less visible actors such as donors, banks and development agencies, as well as trade unions, whose role in protecting defenders is sometimes critical. With that in mind, he held an initial meeting with the World Bank in Washington, D.C. and a few regional development and investment banks on the issue of retaliation against whistle-blowers. That meeting should be followed by further consultations and collaboration in 2017.
