Summary: |
This article discusses the role of the Compliance Advisor/Ombudsman (CA O) of the International Finance Corporation and the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency, which both belong to the World Bank Group. Given the traditional hesitancy of the World Bank to deal with human rights violations that occur as a result of the investment projects that it supports, our objective is to analyse how the CAO office has integrated human rights into its activity. The study consists of two parts which examine how the CAO's office has deployed its functions with regard to its terms of reference laid out in 1998. In the first part, we study the procedural practices of the compliance advisor/ombudsman's functions, and in the second part, the substantive practices in applying performance standards. |
