Michael Windfuhr, German Institute for Human Rights, 2017
This study was commissioned by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development in order to help identify whether there are differences and potential issues in the VGGTs that are currently omitted or only partially covered by the IFC Performance Standards or the World Bank Safeguards. It will also discuss how potential gaps might be addressed.
It will analyse whether there are issues that require closer examination and further investigation in order to provide a complete and adequate framework/international legal instrument committed to ensure the respect for and implementation of human rights.
