Abstract: | The profile of international organizations has significantly evolved in the last decades. International organizations have been exposed to new demands. In response they have developed innovative rules and mechanisms, which in turn required specific policing measures.
An important example of this tendency is the sanction mechanism established by the World Bank against corruption and fraudulent practices of companies and individuals involved in the Bank’s activities. Following the creation of this sanction mechanism by the World Bank, several regional development banks have established similar procedures. The World Bank Sanction mechanism is an example of the progressive integration of principles rooted in different legal traditions and legal fields. It was initially created as a non-jurisdictional mechanism, but has progressively been made more judicial in character. Over time it has developed a degree of procedural formality and complexity, which resembles that of litigation in international and national courts. |
