Debt Relief for the Third World: Road to Disaster |
|
| |
The new International Monetary Fund (IMF) Witteveen Facility for "debt relief" - a $10 billion fund for paying the oil-import costs of poor nations - is applauded by bankers and politicians worldwide. But such adulation is unwarranted and misleading.

Jawboning on Human Rights |

JIMMY CARTER can fairly be blamed for the force behind the unholy alliance that threatens to tie up American participation in the international development agencies. For without his early rhetoric and lack of restraint, it is doubtful that such strong support would have been mustered behind the Harkin amendment, which requires the United States to oppose World Bank and other loans to countries engaging in "a consistent pattern of gross violations of internationally recognized human... |
