Remedying Harm: Lessons from International Law for Development Finance

This briefing from the Center for International Environmental Law discusses the application of international human rights law principles to help development finance institutions (DFIs) establish rights-based frameworks for providing remedy to persons and communities harmed by DFI-financed projects.

• The right to effective remedy for harm is a fundamental principle of international human rights law that consists of both substantive and procedural dimensions, though there is no universal approach to its application as solutions must be tailored to the specific nature of the harm and the needs of affected communities.
