Until recently, the debate surrounding human rights in international financial institutions had not begun in earnest. There was considerable skepticism and many questioned the existence at all of a link between human rights and international financial operations, particularly the IMF and the World Bank. Now this debate has a legitimate and important place inside international forums and is taken seriously by civil society and scholars. 'The IMF, The World Bank and the Question of Human Rights' seeks to explore all of the issues facing international financial institutions and their obligations to adhere to human rights rules.
