The WBG Sanctions Board has issued public decisions for the last 13 years. These decisions, which discuss holdings in cases of alleged corruption, fraud, and other sanctionable misconduct in WBG projects, are accessible on the Sanctions Board website.
A key to accessing, understanding, and analyzing Sanctions Board precedent has been its decision search tool. A good search engine is not merely a technical tool, but a catalyst for transparency, accountability, and reliability in legal research. To ensure that the Sanctions Board database continues to be an accessible repository of knowledge, and to empower users to access and analyze precedent efficiently, upgrades were implemented to the Sanctions Board¡¯s search tool for decisions.
The value of the Sanctions Board¡¯s enhanced decision search tool helps ensure that the legal community and society at large can continue to benefit from access to Sanctions Board analysis and reasoning in complex contested cases. With the updated search tool, users can:
- access both Basic and Advanced search options;
- sort decisions by numerous additional filters, including outcome and type of decision, and industry or region of affected project(s); and
- conduct both keyword and full-text searches.
In addition to upgrading the search tool, users also have access to summaries of pre-2012 Sanctions Board decisions. Summarized key outcomes and holdings of these decisions can also be found in the 2011 Sanctions Board¡¯s Law Digest.
