Poor public resource management and the global financial crisis
curbing fundamental fiscal space, millions thrown into poverty, and
authoritarian regimes running successful criminal campaigns with
the help of financial assistance are all phenomena that raise
fundamental questions around finance and human rights. They also
highlight the urgent need for more systematic and robust legal and
economic thinking about sovereign finance and human rights. This
edited collection aims to contribute to filling this gap by
introducing novel legal theories and analyses of the links between
sovereign debt and human rights from a variety of perspectives.
These chapters include studies of financial complicity, UN
sanctions, ethics, transitional justice, criminal law, insolvency
proceedings, millennium development goals, global financial
architecture, corporations, extraterritoriality, state of
necessity, sovereign wealth and hedge funds, project financing,
state responsibility, international financial institutions, the
right to development, UN initiatives, litigation, as well as case
studies from Africa, Asia and Latin America. These chapters are
then theorised by the editors in an introductory chapter. In July
2012 the UN Human Rights Council finally issued its own guidelines
on foreign debt and human rights, yet much remains to be done to
promote better understanding of the legal and economic implications
of the interface between finance and human rights. This book will
contribute to that understanding as well as help practitioners in
their everyday work. The authors include world-renowned lawyers and
economists, experienced practitioners and officials from
international organisations.
