World Bank Claims Commission

The World Bank Claims Commission is a dispute resolution body that addresses claims related to investments and projects financed by the World Bank. When a country or company involved in a World Bank-funded project believes they have been wronged—such as through expropriation or breach of contract—they can submit a claim to the commission. The commission then reviews the case impartially, providing a fair decision or settlement to resolve the dispute. Its goal is to promote transparency, fairness, and confidence in international development efforts by ensuring disputes are handled efficiently and justly.
