Final Remarks
摘要
In light of the analysis presented in the preceding chapters and the interim conclusions reached therein, the final chapter examines the World Bank Group’s evolving engagement with the rights of indigenous peoples, focusing particularly on how its institutional conduct has progressively acquired normative significance through the internalization of international human rights standards. It further explores the potential influence of this approach on the development of state practice and considers whether the World Bank Group’s conduct can be meaningfully interpreted through the tripartite framework of human rights obligations: to respect, protect, and fulfill. The chapter concludes that, while the World Bank Group cannot be classified as a direct human rights enforcer, its actions carry significant legal implications under international law, positioning the organization to play an influential role in the global advancement of the international legal discourse regarding indigenous peoples.
