Hi all,
this email to share the today release of the "The Global Principles on
National Security and Freedom of Information (the Tshwane Principles)"

That's a set of Policy Guidelines for the protection of National
Security Whistleblower.
Those Principles address the topic of Whistleblowing and National
Security and has been done in cooperation with 22 organizations:

As a summary i suggest reading "Understanding the Tshwane Principles":

It is very interesting to note that Snowden, the Whistleblower of NSA
PRISM saga, would had been protected under Principles 43 and 46 (and
maybe under Principle 40).
A blog post with an analysis on the case related to that principles is
being prepared.
For media and analysts interested on it, they may contact
