This Article will use the Chad/Cameroon project to illustrate why the World Bank should adopt a realistic and pro-active approach to human rights problems. Part II will examine the evolving interpretation of the Bank’s mandate and the historical inconsistencies in its policy toward human rights issues. This examination will show that there are no theoretical obstacles preventing the Bank from interpreting its mandate liberally to include human rights considerations. Part III will draw on the development of the Chad/Cameroon pipeline controversy in order to highlight the importance of human rights considerations for the project’s success. Part IV will argue in favor of the adoption of a more open and consistent human rights policy as an essential condition to improving the credibility of the Bank’s operations. This reformulation is essential if the Bank aims to serve as the guardian of fairness in private investment and to improve the economic well-being of countries like Chad.

The risk now is that the initiative will allow countries to ride free, using the EITI label to continue business as usual. As a result, Publish What You Pay has called on companies and governments to deliver concrete results. The good news is that the EITI board is beginning to flex its muscles. If countries do not become validated within two years they risk losing their status. So far Chad, Trinidad and Tobago, and Bolivia have been disqualified.

I’m not the only one to have been thrown out of the [College for the Monitoring and Surveillance of Oil Earnings]. The president of the Chadian human rights’ league (LTDH) and the representative of development organisations were too. I’m very sad it happened, but it was a great experience and I learnt a lot about my country. I was the rapporteur general, which was a great honour. Today, I doubt this institution can still play the role it used to.
