The article substantiates the importance of the Institute of whistleblowers, which should influence the state of detection of corruption in Ukraine and help anti-corruption bodies in combating organized crime and negative corruption of officials. The article also suggests that the Institute of whistleblowers is a precautionary measure that aims not only to reduce the occurrence and spread of corruption in society, but also to become a multi-vector law that will not be limited to the corruption sphere alone. Therefore, in order to prevent the spread, as a systematic and large-scale theft, it is necessary for society to be born intolerant of corruption in all walks of life. Thus, informing anti-corruption bodies that fight corruption is an important asset for the state. In addition, society must understand that the struggle must not only be with the individual representatives of the higher authorities, but also not to forget about third parties who also participate in illicit enrichment schemes. Therefore, the experience of European countries should be taken into account in the process of reforming national anti-corruption legislation, as special laws to protect whistleblowers have been drafted and adopted in most countries of the world.
Thus, Ukraine must also take and ensure that all measures are taken to protect the life and health of both the debtor and his relatives. Therefore, the article provides suggestions that should fully support the activities of the Institute of whistleblowers. Thus, all citizens' fears of being exposed and condemned, among others, must be minimized. Therefore, the creation of on-going information campaigns targeted at different social groups and aimed at enhancing the level of cooperation between the authorities and citizens should help to implement anti-corruption policies. Therefore, it should be remembered that society is the driving force behind the elimination of a tolerant attitude to corruption and to assist in the transition to new forms of cooperation, such as dialogue and partnership.
