Remedying Harm: Lessons from International Law for Development Finance

The document advocates for development finance institutions (DFIs) to establish robust frameworks for providing remedy to harmed persons and communities by drawing on international human rights law. It emphasizes the distinction between procedural and substantive remedy, providing a typology of remedies used by international bodies to guide DFIs in addressing harms occurring within their financed projects.

• The right to effective remedy in international human rights law consists of both substantive and procedural dimensions, and because there is no universal approach, remedies must be tailored to the specific nature of the harm and the needs of affected communities.
