Tiivistelmä:The ethical debate on whistleblowing concerns mainly the conflict in connection with the right to political free speech and the duty of loyalty to the organization where one works. This is the moral dilemma of whistleblowing. The author uses the philosophy of John Rawls to this dilemma, and it is indicated that the requirement of loyalty, in the sense that is needed to create the moral dilemma of whistleblowing, is conflicting with that theory. In this sense, there is no moral dilemma of whistleblowing. In addition, it is suggested that the best way in this as in most other political circumstances, to weigh harms is offered by the free speech argument from democracy.
