Precedent-Setting Ngo Campaign Saves The World Bank's Inspection Panel, Daniel D. Bradlow Jan 1999

Precedent-Setting Ngo Campaign Saves The World Bank's Inspection Panel, Daniel D. Bradlow

Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals

This article, after describing the stakes in the ongoing debate about the operating procedures of the World Bank's Inspection Panel (Panel), explains the causes of this controversy.

The reason for this possibility is that the Bank, in an innovative …

It argues that whilst the inclination to democratise has influenced the establishment of new collective security structures, the superficial nature of …


Pre-Intervention Trust-Building, African States And Enforcing The Peace, Jeremy I. Levitt Jan 1999

Pre-Intervention Trust-Building, African States And Enforcing The Peace, Jeremy I. Levitt

Journal Publications

This article is concerned with examining the dynamics of trust-building in a pre-intervention context.' Specifically, it will analyse the concept of trustbuilding prior to the ECOWAS humanitarian interventions in Liberia and Sierra Leone, although the general thrust of my argument will no doubt apply to other African interventions.' Humanitarian intervention can be taken to mean: Intervention in a state involving the use of force (U.N. action in Iraq and Somalia or ECOWAS action in Liberia and Sierra Leone) or threat of force (U.N. action in Haiti), where the intervenor deploys armed forces and, at the least, makes clear that it …
