Rules and Principles Governing the Disclosure (whistleblower) Protection System (Comparative Study of Different Legal Systems and Iran)

One of the most important concerns of governments in managing of public affairs and even overseeing the private sector is corruption, especially administrative and financial corruption. In this way they have incurred a lot of costs. One of the ways to fight corruption is to use social capacities, including participation of citizens and employees, through discoursing that are envisaged in most countries. This approach not only reduces the need to employing employee, structures and therefore costs, but also increases public confidence to the government and strengthens citizens' sense of responsibility, and also, due to its large population and dispersion throughout the country, if implemented properly, it can be more comprehensive than other anti-corruption tools. And if not done properly, it can be just as dangerous. Given the above, what are the characteristics of a good disclosure system? In this research, an attempt has been made to extract the principles and rules that can lead to the establishment of a favorable disclosure system by descriptive and qualitative methods using the experiences of other countries.
