A serious concern deserves an equally serious reading. This library separates laws from guidance, proposed practices from findings, and the account of a person from conclusions about that person.
Violence and Harassment in the World of Work
ILO Convention 190, Recommendation 206, psychological harassment, ISO 45003, whistleblowing, attribution, and the Matilda effect.
Protection from Harassment
Living Instruments' distinct public working policy for people, reporting, continuity and intellectual work.
Quality Assurance Office
Three routes: discuss a standard; report a standards concern; or document suspected interference with work.
How to read a standard here
- Source: identify the actual instrument, publication body, edition and link.
- Standing: say whether it is a binding law, ratified treaty, professional guidance, voluntary standard, academic study or proposed organizational practice.
- Scope: name the people, place, question and jurisdiction to which it may apply.
- Limit: disclose missing evidence, conflicting findings, cost/access limitations and unresolved questions.
- Return: keep a path for correction and future evidence without rewriting an original.
The question is not the verdict
Protecting someone from retaliation and evaluating the underlying technical concern are two distinct obligations. Similarly, preserving a contributor's words and assessing disputed legal ownership are not interchangeable acts. This library does not adjudicate individual events, diagnose anyone, or grant powers to act against a third party.
Research is public. Any report or contact remains in the separate service or email channel chosen by the sender; private reports do not appear in this library.
