As part of the Action Plan for implementation of the Justice Sector Reform Strategy for 2011-2016, approved by Parliament Decision no. 6 of 16.02.2012, NAC has developed internal rules on “whistleblowers”, which governs the procedure for submission and verification of warnings about the illegalities committed within NAC and protection measures for persons who warn voluntarily, in good faith and for public’s interestabout unlawful things.

Responsibility of the authorities to provide adequate protection against any unjustified sanction for employees who report acts of corruption is stipulated both by the UN Convention against Corruption (art. 33), and Article 9 of the Civil Law Convention on Corruption, ratified by Moldova in 2003. Application of Civil Law Convention on Corruption of the signatory states is monitored by the Group of States against Corruption (GRECO), to which Moldova joined in 2001. Assessed at cycle II of GRECO, it was recommended to the Republic of Moldova "to introduce clear rules that encourage all public officials to report cases of corruption and to establish adequate protection for people who give alarm".

Thus, in the implementation of the provisions of international conventions to which Moldova is a party, was drawn up and adopted Law no. 277 of 27.12.2011 amending and supplementing certain acts (Act 90/2008, Law 25/2008 Offences Code) that establish measures to protect public officials who inform in good faith regarding acts of corruption, corrupt behavior facts about the infringement of the rules on declaration of income and property and violation of legal obligations conflict of interest.
