This book was released on 1994 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1993, the World Bank created an Inspection Panel to investigate complaints about its own operations. This initiative--the first of its kind for an international organization--is the subject of this book. As general counsel of the World Bank and one of the main architects of the initiative, the author is in a unique position to analyze the implications of this step for the World Bank, for other international organizations, and for international law. This is the first book on such a topic, and as such it is likely to remain the most authoritative source of information on the subject for years to come.
Download or read book The Inspection Panel of the World Bank written by Gudmundur Alfredsson and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2022-07-11 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the adoption of extensive human rights standards and their wide acceptance by States and the international community, the time has come to emphasise the implementation of these standards at both national and international levels. International financial institutions and development agencies have a special role to play in this respect, considering the influence and the resources at their disposal. Increasingly, they are acknowledging this duty, not only as a service to human rights but more so in recognition of the contribution which human rights and democracy, and so by extension good governance and accountability, make to political stability and improved economies. This volume is the result of a Workshop on the Inspection Panel which was organised in Lund by the Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law and co-sponsored by the World Bank. Its purpose is to look for common ground in areas of mutual interest and to offer a substantive collection of ideas which can prove useful for the future work of the Inspection Panel and similar institutions. Such undertakings must include human rights education and training for the officialdom of national governments and international organisations, as well as for the individuals and groups who stand to benefit from the implementation of the international standards and monitoring exercises, where independent and impartial experts scrutinise the conduct of national and international actors.
Download or read book The World Bank Policy on Disclosure of Information written by and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1994-01-01 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foreword by Lewis T. Preston, President, the World Bank (1991-1995). Sets out World Bank policy on disclosure of information. The policy applies to the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) and the International Development Association (IDA). This useful booklet presents the World Bank's policy on disclosure of information and describes the materials available to the public. The Bank's experience in implementing effective and sustainable development programs clearly indicates that the quality of many operations benefits when staff and government officials consult and share information with program participants. This experience inspired the Bank to launch a major review of its disclosure policy in 1993. The review resulted in a recommendation to make Bank information more publicly available. The revised policy expands the range of documents subject to release and facilitates public access to them. A significant outcome was the Bank's establishment of a Public Information Center through which much of the material covered by the revised policy is available.

Download or read book The Practice of Independent Accountability Mechanisms IAMs written by Owen McIntyre and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multilateral development banks and other development agencies have adopted environmental and social safeguard policies setting due diligence standards for the provision of project finance. Such policies are evolving in terms of the activities covered and in their normative requirements. Recent iterations incorporate human rights requirements, recognising the imperative of adopting human rights-based approaches to development. Each institution has also established independent accountability mechanisms (IAM), variously functioning to ensure compliance with the applicable safeguards, to advise management regarding the application of the obligations involved, and to facilitate communication with affected communities and individuals with a view to resolving project-related disputes. IAMs are central to the implementation, interpretation, and ongoing elaboration of safeguard policies, and thus to the environmental and social good governance so essential for sustainable development. This edited volume presents a series of in-depth examinations by leading experts from banking institutions, academia and civil society, of key aspects of the rapidly evolving practice of IAMs, and of the implications of such practice for environmental and social governance.
Download or read book Getting the Full Picture on Public Officials written by Ivana Maria Rossi and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2017-01-13 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Financial disclosure systems are a vital component of transparency. By now 161 countries around the world have introduced financial disclosure systems, becoming commonplace around the world. But, although the rules are on the books, many practitioners are still struggling with the intricacies of the rules and how to implement them in the socioeconomic, historical, and legal context of their own country. Little guidance is available to assist them. This book aims to fill that void and provide practitioners with practical scenarios to consider before deciding on a particular course of action. This book contains short chapters that elaborate each topic and provide clear guidance on the issues that policy makers and those involved in the implementation of financial disclosure obligations will need to take into account before making a decision. How do you decide who should file? And how often? On-line or in hard copy? And what exactly? Everything they own directly—or also those apartments they own indirectly? How should information in declarations be checked? Should it be shared with public? How accessible should it be? This is the sort of practical guidance that this book aims to provide.
