REPORT OF THE SPECIAL RAPPORTEUR ON ADEQUATE HOUSING AS A COMPONENT OF THE RIGHT TO AN ADEQUATE STANDARD OF LIVING, AND ON THE RIGHT TO NON-DISCRIMINATION IN THIS CONTEXT, RAQUEL ROLNIK : ADDENDUM
In cases in which the borrower Government is
unable to justify the need for evictions or displacements based on an exceptional
circumstance, the Bank should not agree to provide assistance until a feasible alternative is
agreed upon that will not result in forced evictions or displacements.
23. (...) The revised policy on involuntary resettlement should thus maintain the current
objective of avoiding and minimizing displacement and the requirement in BP 4.12 for the
Bank’s task team and borrower staff to explore all viable alternative project designs to
avoid and minimize displacement.16 In order to strengthen implementation of this
requirement, the new policy should place a procedural requirement on the borrower
Government to provide to the Bank – as a part of its project proposal – a detailed account of
alternative project designs considered to achieve the development and general welfare
objectives, including the result of consultations about potential alternatives with persons
expected to be displaced.
25. (...) The Special Rapporteur recommends that the current policy requirements be
supplemented with a requirement on borrower Governments to put in place measures to
ensure secure adequate housing, including all of its components, immediately and as a
component of the project itself.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT EXPERT ON THE EFFECTS OF FOREIGN DEBT AND OTHER RELATED INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS OF STATES ON THE FULL ENJOYMENT OF ALL HUMAN RIGHTS, PARTICULARLY ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL RIGHTS ON HIS MISSION TO CHINA : NOTE / BY THE SECRETARIAT
Both documents set out
key international human rights principles that should be upheld by lenders and borrowers,
Governments and business enterprises, including public and private financial institutions.
10. (...) They require lenders to conduct due diligence to ensure
that a proposed loan will not increase the borrower State’s external debt stock to an
unsustainable level, that will make debt repayment difficult and impede the creation of
conditions for the realization of human rights. 10 They also add that lenders should not
finance activities or projects that violate, or would foreseeably violate, human rights in
borrower States. To avoid this eventuality, it is incumbent upon lenders intending to
finance specific activities or projects in borrower States to conduct a credible human rights
impact assessment as a prerequisite to providing a new loan.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT EXPERT ON THE EFFECTS OF FOREIGN DEBT AND OTHER RELATED INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS OF STATES ON THE FULL ENJOYMENT OF ALL HUMAN RIGHTS, PARTICULARLY ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL RIGHTS, CEPHAS LUMINA : ADDENDUM
Following high interest rates and the
mounting debt crisis in the early 1980s, the borrowers had problems repaying. The loans
became very expensive.18 In 1987, 12 countries had renegotiated their debt, representing 72
per cent of the total Ship Export Campaign debt. (...) As a result of the cancellation, Ecuador has saved US$
36.1 million, which was to be paid until 2018.

REPORT OF THE SPECIAL RAPPORTEUR ON THE HUMAN RIGHT TO SAFE DRINKING WATER AND SANITATION, CATARINA DE ALBUQUERQUEADDENDUM : MISSION TO TUVALU (17-19 JULY 2012)
The increase in informal housing within the capital city and the emergence of peri-urban
settlements and the absence of an adequate sewerage system has led to unsanitary
conditions in some areas.19 The sanitary conditions around the “borrow pits” are of
particular concern. The borrow pits are large holes that were excavated by the United States
of America during World War II to build an airstrip. Informal housing has been built
around the borrow pits. With all the dumped waste, leaked septage and sea water, the
borrow pits have reportedly affected the water aquifer. According to doctors with whom the
Special Rapporteur met, children living in the area around the borrow pits develop a certain
skin disease due to the polluted water in the pits.
