Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Grievance mechanisms can also be implemented in the home countries of international corporations and in donor countries. The example of the national contact points for the Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development was highlighted to the Special Rapporteur by various stakeholders during the preparation of the present report as being an important mechanism in a number of countries. The Inspection Panel of the World Bank was also mentioned as a viable mechanism for individuals who believe that their rights have been infringed upon as a result of the implementation of World Bank-funded projects. Mention was also made of the Compliance Advisor/Ombudsman, the grievance mechanism for those affected by projects financed by the International Finance Corporation and the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency.
