Development and Human Rights: The Role of the World Bank
The World Bank believes that creating the conditions for the attainment of human rights is a central and irreducible goal of development. By placing the dignity of every human being—especially the poorest—at the very foundation of its approach to development the Bank helps people in every part of the world build lives of purpose and hope. And while the Bank has always taken measures to ensure that human rights are fully respected in connection with the projects it supports it has been less forthcoming about articulating its role in promoting human rights within the countries in which it operates. This fiftieth anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights gives us the opportunity to assess our role and to identify areas where we can do even more to reflect the principles enshrined in the Declaration into all of our work.
