尽管《劳工法》中有关于向举报刑事犯罪嫌疑的雇员提供保护的条款,但拉脱 维亚仍未按照《反腐败公约》第三十三条的规定制定专门的立法来确保保护举报人。考虑到《公约》条款的非约束性,审议人员鼓励拉脱维亚当局探究能否出台关于保护举报人的全面而有重点的法律框架。
Despite the existence of provisions of labour law on the protection of employees who report suspicions with regard to the commission of criminal offences, there is still no ad hoc legislation in Latvia ensuring their protection, as set forth in article 33 of the Convention against Corruption. Taking into account the non-binding nature of this provision of the Convention, the reviewers encouraged the Latvian authorities to explore the possibility of putting in place a comprehensive and focused legal framework on the protection of reporting persons.
