The Commonwealth of Nations is facing potentially damaging legal proceedings amid allegations of a "culture of bullying and neo-colonialism" at one of its key institutions.
Sources at the Commonwealth Foundation, which says it works "on behalf of the people" in the group's 54 nations, claim that the organisation is gripped by a "climate of fear", and some non-white staff members are complaining of harassment and aggression.
The foundation, which is funded by Commonwealth taxpayers, is said to be handling internal complaints from women of colour alleging bullying. As the Commonwealth's showpiece Games reach their midpoint in Delhi, the club of nations is also facing a potentially costly hearing at a British employment tribunal where a former employee is claiming unfair dismissal.
