Human Rights

Under construction.

We work:

  • In collaboration with Northern and Southern partners, to expose the inadequacies of existing policies at the international financial institutions for taking account of the environment and the needs of communities in the projects they support, and research different mechanisms for holding these IFIs accountable to international standards on the environment, labour and human rights.

The Halifax Initiative

The Halifax Initiative is a Canadian coalition of development, environment, faith-based, human rights and labour groups.

Our goal is to fundamentally transform the international financial system and its institutions, namely the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and export credit agencies.

By doing so, we hope to achieve poverty eradication, environmental sustainability and the full realization of human rights.
