WHO Policy on Preventing and Addressing Retaliation

Overview

This Policy puts in place a proactive scheme for processing and addressing retaliation with a view to reinforcing accountability and eliminating retaliatory conduct at WHO. The established reporting mechanisms of Internal Oversight (IOS) ensure that requests for protection against retaliation are examined efficiently and effectively.
