  • 현행 우리나라는 공익침해행위와 관련하여 2011년 3월 공익신고자 보호법이 제정되어 민간부문에서의 공익신고자를 보호하고 있다. 대부분의 공익침해행위는 조직 내부에서 은밀하게 이루어지고 있어 조직 내부의 문제점을 잘 알고 있는 조직 구성원들의 신고로 인하여 외부에 알려지게 된다. 그러나 신고로 인하여 공익신고자가 받게 되는 불이익에 대한 실질적인 보호조치가 미흡하여 신고자를 효과적으로 보호하기 위한 제도를 강화하는 방안이 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 현행 우리나라 공익신고자 보호제도에 대한 주요 내용을 검토하고, 공익신고자의 보호 등을 위한 합리적인 개선방안을 제시하고자 한다.

  • Korea enacted the Protection of Public Interest Reporters Act in March 2011 to protect whistleblowers from acts of infringement of public interest in the private sector. Most acts of infringement of the public interest are carried out secretly within the organization, which is known to the outside world by reports from members of the organization who are well aware of the problems within the organization. However, whistleblowers are at a disadvantage due to reporting and are reluctant to report. In addition, measures are needed to strengthen institutional mechanisms such as confidentiality, protection of personal information, responsibility, and prohibition of disadvantageous measures to effectively protect reporters due to lack of practical protective measures. Therefore, practical protection measures for whistleblowers are needed in line with the purpose of protecting whistleblowers, and measures to expand the corresponding compensation system will also be needed. Therefore, in this study, we would like to review the main contents of the current system for protecting whistleblowers in Korea and suggest reasonable improvement measures for protecting whistleblowers.
