THE LEGAL CHARACTER OF PRIVATE CODES OF CONDUCT: MORE THAN JUST A PSEUDO-FORMAL GLOSS ON CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY Veronica Besmer* I. INTRODUCTION Perhaps no other event has shaken the business environments of the industrialized economies more than the recent corporate governance scandals. Shortly after the record-breaking bankruptcies of Enron and WorldCom in the U.S., the infamous tidal wave swept the Old Continent. In 2003, the Italian food giant Parmalat became "Europe's Enron" with an accounting and securities fraud that the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") called "one of the largest and most brazen corporate financial frauds in history."1 Neither shaky corporate governance nor bankruptcies are novel. What makes the recent round of scandals mind- boggling is their magnitude: the combined market capitalizations of Enron and WorldCom that were wiped out exceeded the individual gross domestic * J.D.

If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way. – Franklin D. Roosevelt In the morning on September 11, 2001 two hijacked jet airliners crashed into the towers of the World Trade Center (WTC). The first one was the American Airlines flight 11 (AA11) which departed from Logan International Airport, Boston at 7:59am (local time) and hit the north face of the World Trade Center One (WTC1, north tower) at 8:46am at the estimated speed of 470 mph (750 kmph). The second one was the United Airlines flight 175 (UA175) which departed from Logan International Airport at 8:14am and hit the south face of the World Trade Center Two (WTC2, south tower) at 9:03am at the estimated speed of 590 mph (950 kmph). Both flights were scheduled to arrive to Los Angeles and both were of the same type – Boeing 767-200ER.

  • By Coleen Rowley
    A Wake Up All Call! By Coleen Rowley The need to arouse the broader public with an antiwar message is as urgent today as it was in 2003 when this photo was taken at the time the U.S. was about to launch war on Iraq. Photo: Tom Bottolene The more we can educate the better! We really need to reach outside our comfortable “choirs” of those who agree with us to the larger (ignorant, apathetic) public, either through demonstrations or through sharing news and photographs with those friends, relatives, and citizenry who are not paying attention to the issues of war and war crimes. The wars and war blowback are not over but worsen daily. As speakers said at the Washington D.C. event, the situation under the Obama Administration is far worse than it was under Bush. We are perched on the brink of watching a new war break out, this time on Iran. It will be a repeat of the destructive invasion of Iraq but many times worse not only in terms of the millions of people that will be killed in the Mid-east but also in terms of the blowback on the United States and Israel. And yet almost no one speaks out here in the U.S.! The mainstream media and, with very few exceptions, both political parties have turned to war mongering. Not only do most of the congresspersons of both parties but Minnesota senators Klobuchar and Franken, both, accordingly give speeches in support of draconian sanctions (seen as war provocation), stopping diplomacy which will ultimately lead to war on Iran.

Drake Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Public Policy and Administration Walden University May 2017 Abstract Many researchers and political experts have commented on the disenfranchisement of the citizenry caused by irresponsible use of power by the government that potentially violates the 4th Amendment rights of millions of people through secret mass surveillance programs. Disclosures of this abuse of power are presumably protected by the 1st Amendment, though when constitutional protections are not followed by the government, the result can be prosecution and imprisonment of whistleblowers.

  • Praise for the Corporate Whistleblower's Survival Guide
    Praise for The Corporate Whistleblower’s Survival Guide “Blowing the whistle is a life-altering experience. Taking the fi rst step is the hardest, knowing that you can never turn back. Harder yet is not taking the step and allowing the consequences of not blowing the whistle to continue, knowing you could have stopped them. Your life will be forever changed; friends and family will question your ac- tions if not your sanity, your peers will shun you, every relationship you treasure will be strained to the breaking point. This handbook is required reading for anyone considering blowing the whistle.” —Richard and Donna Parks, Three Mile Island cleanup whistleblower and wife “The Corporate Whistleblower’s Survival Guide will be an immense help! For while there are no one-size-fi ts-all ‘right answers,’ the au- thors have effectively translated their decades of actual experience, insights, and resources in this fi eld onto paper. A realistic framework will now exist to help people confronting such diffi cult situations.” —Coleen Rowley, FBI 9/11 whistleblower and a 2002 Time Person of the Year “Lays out exactly what potential corporate whistleblowers must know to help improve their chances of both surviving whistleblowing and stopping the misconduct they set out to expose. My only hope is that we can help spread the word so that all potential corporate whistle- blowers read this book before they take their fi rst steps down that lonely road.” —Danielle Brian, Executive Director, Project on Government Oversight “As commissioner, I relied on whistleblowers like Jeffrey Wigand to learn the inside story about the deceptive practices of the tobacco industry.

  • The Special Agent
    http://www.time.com/time/archive/preview/from_search/0,10987,1101021230-402007,00.html TIME Magazine December 30, 2002 The Special Agent By AMANDA RIPLEY AND MAGGIE SIEGER Coleen Rowley became enamored with the FBI's fictionalized ideal long before she heard of the real thing. Her favorite show was The Man from U.N.C.L.E., a spy spoof about two debonair agents who work to save the world from evil. In the fifth grade, Rowley wrote to the show's producers, asking to join the cadre of supersecret spies. She got a rejection letter. "They said it didn't exist," Rowley remembers. "But they told me that in the United States, we had something called the FBI. And they gave me the address." So Rowley wrote to the bureau and received a pamphlet titled "99 Facts About the FBI." One question was, "Does the FBI employ women as special agents?" The answer was no. Even then, she did not scare easily. "I thought to myself, That's stupid. I figured that would change eventually." Last May, when Rowley upbraided her beloved FBI in a secret 13-page memo, she thought she was on a private rescue mission. In her view, it was not a reprimand but an act of redemption. It was not about speaking truth to power, because people like Rowley don't see much difference between the two. Truth is power — that's how you catch the bad guys. So the memo — the one that leaked and landed her on the front pages of newspapers, that brought her to Washington to face cameras and Congressmen and that helped set off the debate over how to reinvent the FBI — was not meant to be a memo at all.
