The Quebec Declaration calls on the States and governments to improve the protection of whistleblowers

At the 12th congress of the Association des Ombudsmans et Médiateurs de la Francophonie (AOMF), held in October 2024, the members adopted the Quebec Declaration. The purpose of this declaration is to highlight the challenges the protection of whistleblowers pose, including the important role they play in effectively tackling practices that undermine the public interest.

As a member of the Integrity Committee of the AOMF, Ombuds Brussels helped to draft this Declaration.

The AOMF emphasises the importance of mechanisms that genuinely protect whistleblowers against reprisals, of effective reporting channels and of measures that assist and support whistleblowers.
