Development Decision Making And The Content Of International Development Law, Daniel D. Bradlow
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals

The World Bank, The Imf, And Human Rights, Daniel D. Bradlow

Second is institutional issues, which deal with the internal rules and procedures of the World Bank and the IMF. The paper concludes that these organizations need to develop a coherent and explicit human rights policy.

Furthermore, international organizations were limited in their ability to interfere in the internal affairs of their member states.
