Accountability Counsel

Accountability Counsel defends the environmental and human rights of communities around the world by creating, strengthening, and using accountability systems. We specialize in non-judicial grievance procedures related to international finance and development. We accomplish our mission by: (1) raising awareness and providing legal support to facilitate community complaints to accountability mechanisms, and (2) providing expert policy advice to advocate for new avenues of redress, and for reforms so that existing mechanisms are accessible, robust, and effective tools for justice.

Use of non-judicial recourse mechanisms to uphold norms and standards in international finance and development is what we do. As such, the OECD Guidelines are a central component of our work, and strengthening and using the OECD NCPs is a primary goal.
