Bei Investitionen das “Recht auf Abhilfe” berücksichtigen

Finanzierer von Entwicklungsprojekten müssen handeln

Das UN Human Rights Office of the High Commissioner hat jetzt Leitlinien für die Finanzierung von Entwicklungs-Projekten veröffentlicht. Die Institutionen, die die Projekte finanzieren, sollen sicherstellen, dass für die Menschen kein Schaden entsteht und dass potenzielle Opfer sich rechtlich wehren können.

Diese Veröffentlichung richtet sich an alle bilateralen und multilateralen Entwicklungsfinanzierungsinstitutionen. Die Analyse und die Empfehlungen im Leitfaden sind aufgrund von umfangreichen Konsultationen in den letzten zwei Jahren entstanden. Der Leitfaden will allen betroffenen Akteur*innen Leitplanken geben, um Schäden zu verhindern und zu bekämpfen, die nachhaltige Entwicklung voranzutreiben und mehr Menschen zu helfen.
