NO TIME TO CELEBRATE:
A breakthrough for human rights is needed after 30 years of the EBRD

From 28 June – 1 July the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development will hold its annual meeting, the flagship event in the bank’s calendar.

The EBRD is unique among multilaterals in that it is the only development bank with an explicit mandate to promote democracy. But three decades of experience show that the bank  needs to do more to promote democracy and to protect human rights.
