Please sign to ask World Bank President Jim Yong Kim to ensure that the Bank’s new safeguard policies respect and protect human rights. action.ciel.org/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=14236 World Bank President Jim Yong Kim will weigh in on the Bank’s new safeguard policy draft, determining the direction the policy takes going forward. Anything short of an explicit commitment to human rights due diligence will continue the trend in which World Bank funding facilitates disastrous development activities like the Chad-Cameroon Oil Pipeline, the Dinant oil palm investment in Honduras, or Uzbekistans agricultural sector reform project. The Bank must halt investments that can lead to further impoverishment or worse, incur the incalculable cost of human suffering and loss of life.
