Whistleblowers House for litigation support

House for Whistleblowers - The Hague

The Bill for the Protection of Whistleblowers (hereinafter: the new law) is currently being discussed. This new law, which replaces the current House for Whistleblowers Act, has direct consequences for the work of the House for Whistleblowers (hereinafter the House).

As a competent authority, the House must have set up a reporting channel by 17 December 2021 for receiving and processing information about abuses with a social interest (hereinafter: abuses) and violations of Union law (hereinafter: violations). To enable effective communication with staff responsible for handling reports, the Whistleblowers Authority must have a channel that is user-friendly, secure, and ensures confidentiality in receiving and handling information provided by the reporter about breaches and suspected wrongdoing and which offers the possibility to store information permanently so that it can be further investigated. The notifications, questions and requests arrive at the front portal, where the selection should take place or whether there is a request for advice, a report in connection with an infringement, a report in connection with an abuse or a request for a treatment investigation. Due to the terms that apply in the event of a report in connection with a breach (and as of 17 December 2021, these terms also apply to reports in connection with wrongdoing), the internal process registration must be adjusted.

Due to the expected increase in activities due to the European Whistleblower Directive and new legislation, we are looking for temporary reinforcement by a process assistant.

Abstract

In their article on ‘Investigating historical abuses’ Yannick Balk, Georg Frerks and Beatrice de Graaf (2022) present an applied history of intercountry adoption to the Netherlands over the past 70 years and conclude that a moratorium on intercountry adoption is necessary because of the many adoption abuses. In this paper we comment on their aims, methods, results, and conclusions. Applied historical analysis without considering the numerous empirical studies on the effects of (de-)institutionalization is problematic if the application is to impact policy. Furthermore, using inaccessible archival material and opaque triangulation hinders replication. An estimate of the overall frequency of adoption abuses is absent. Any adoption abuse is a serious violation of children’s rights and needs to be addressed. However, we argue that their findings do not necessitate the recommendation to (temporarily) stop intercountry adoption at the expense of children in institutions for whom intercountry adoption would be the last resort.

Keywords: international adoption; abuses; institutionalization; policy; translational research; Dutch Committee Investigating Intercountry Adoption (CIIA)

1 Introduction

A recent estimate of numbers of children left in institutions worldwide was estimated in 2020 to be 7.5 million.1 The number of children who became orphans during the COVID-19 pandemic is estimated to be around 5 million since 2020, and still counting.2 In many cases the wider social network will take care of these children, but many others run the risk of ending on the street or in institutional care. The recent war raging in Ukraine might add to these numbers.3 From our recent meta-analyses commissioned by The Lancet Psychiatry, covering more than 300 studies in more than 60 countries across 70 years, we had to conclude that institutional care has a devastating impact on children in all developmental domains, ranging from physical and brain growth to socio-emotional development.4

Nine French people born in Mali are filing a complaint against the Rayon de Soleil association for fraud and breach of trust. They accuse the adoption agency of having "circumvented the law" and lied to their families, biological and adoptive.

This Monday, June 8, nine French people of Malian origin filed a complaint with the Paris court for fraud, concealment and breach of trust , against the association Rayon de soleil for foreign children (RSEE) and their correspondent in Mali, Danielle Boudault, reveals Le Monde .

Falsified identity papers

What alarmed the nine plaintiffs, aged around 30, were first of all the inconsistencies around their identity papers. Pauline, interviewed by France 3 , shows that her date of birth on her different adoption papers differs.

For her part, Marie M., aged 32, realizes by consulting the archives in Mali concerning her adoption, that her civil status information corresponds to that of a man, aged the same age as her. "His adoptive mother was asked to choose his date of birth, there is 'blanco' on official documents " adds La Croix about his adoption.

The Surrogacy Act and the Assisted Reproduction Technology Act miss out on addressing some crucial aspects. The SC and Delhi HC now have the opportunity to assess the Acts through the framework of reproductive rights and justice, and extend recent constitutional jurisprudence on the right to privacy, reproductive autonomy, and recognition of non-traditional families

The Surrogacy (Regulation) Act 2021 and the Assisted Reproductive Technology (Regulation) Act 2021 (ART Act) came into force early this year. The Acts aim to regulate the multimillion-dollar industry of reproductive medicine, stipulate who can access assisted reproductive technologies and procedures such as in vitro fertilisation and surrogacy, the conditions under which gamete donation and surrogacy can take place, and specify requirements for clinics to operate.

The Acts allow only married infertile couples and certain categories of women to avail of ARTs and surrogacy. Sale of gametes and any payment to the surrogate mother, other than insurance coverage and medical expenses, has been prohibited. Clinics and banks offering ART procedures have to be registered.

Reproductive technologies allow people who are unable to conceive or achieve pregnancy, for medical and non-medical reasons, to have biological children. Inequities in access to healthcare, including infertility care, are pervasive and disproportionately impact persons from marginalised contexts. Equitable access to infertility care, including reproductive technologies, is part of the full spectrum of reproductive rights, including the right to make decisions about one’s reproductive life, to health, and to equality and non-discrimination. In India, ARTs are offered by an expensive privatised medical industry that was unregulated for decades. The technologies can be used to transform traditional notions of family and strengthen the status of same-sex and other queer couples by expanding the ability to reproduce beyond heterosexual marital unions. Use of ARTs can also entrench notions of genetic parenthood as the “true” form of parenthood. ARTs provoke complex legal, ethical and social dilemmas, and their regulation requires consideration and balancing of conflicting interests and values.

Petitions against the Acts have now been filed before the Supreme Court and Delhi High Court by an IVF specialist and persons desiring to become parents, respectively. Both petitions challenge the Acts as being discriminatory and violative of reproductive autonomy and choice by denying access to ARTs to single persons and people in live-in and same-sex relationships. The petitions also oppose the ban on commercial surrogacy, arguing that it is unreasonable and deprives surrogate mothers of reproductive agency.

Children are continuing to be taken from battle zones in Ukraine for adoption in Russia - that's according to the US Institute of War, which cites confirmations from Russian media.

It says children have been transported from the devastated city of Mariupol to be processed by the office of the Commissioner for Children's Rights. The end goal is to be adopted into Russian families.

Its head, Maria Lvova-Belova, has herself taken in a teenager according to one of her posts on the Telegram messaging service. Meanwhile, in Kherson, people continue to be evacuated and moved into Russia proper, which Ukraine advised its citizens to resist.

According to an investigation by AP, Russia is conducting an open effort to adopt Ukrainian children and bring them up as Russian.

Moscow claims that these children don't have parents or guardians to look after them, or that they can't be reached. But AP alleges that officials have deported Ukrainian children to Russia or Russian-held territories without consent and lied to them that they weren't wanted by their parents.

A farm labourer couple from Firozpur in Punjab gave away their newborn daughter in the hope that she would find a loving home away from poverty. Instead, she ended up in the hands of child traffickers and was almost sold for Rs 25 lakh in Gujarat. The girl, now 17-days-old, is fighting for her life with multiple health complications in hospital.

Gujarat police on Monday traced and brought to Vadodara the couple believed to be the biological parents of the newborn girl rescued by the SHE Team before she could be sold at the railway station in that city on September 4. The alleged birth parents, Mithun Singh and Shimla Rani, were named in the birth record found by the police.

Police said that the parents had ‘opted’ to give away the child for ‘adoption’ as she was their fifth daughter. The couple could not afford to raise one more child, especially a daughter. They have also allegedly given off another daughter, their fourth, to their relatives without going through the legal process since they are illiterate and appear to be unaware of the adoption laws.

Vadodara police had dispatched two teams to Delhi last week to apprehend the masterminds of the racket. One team visited Firozpur in Ludhiana and located the alleged biological parents.

An officer told Mirror, “The couple was brought to Vadodara on September 12. The wife was sent to SSG Hospital to be with the child. We have submitted blood samples of the couple and child for DNA testing and expect to get the results shortly.” However, police officials are confident that the couple are indeed the child’s parents.

According to the ministry, the ombudswoman also admitted to facilitating the illegal adoption in Russia of about 350 more children from the occupied regions of the Donbas.

“Transfer of Ukrainian children from the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine to Russia and their subsequent adoption by Russian citizens grossly violate the legislation of Ukraine, as well as the Geneva Convention Relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War of 1949, which provides for the obligation of the occupying state not to change the civil status of children, and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child of 1989,” the ministry said in a comment.

Ukrainian diplomats have called on the international community to “strongly condemn the ongoing crimes committed by Russia and its officials against children in the temporarily occupied Ukrainian territories.”

“Ukraine will continue to make every effort to ensure that Ukrainian children who were illegally taken and adopted in Russia are returned to their parents or legal guardians,” reads the report.
