This article discusses the relationship
between the legal institutions of
international economic law and justice and
development. The international economic
law institutions such as the World Bank, the
International Monetary Fund, the World
Trade Organization and the International
Labour Organization and their main aims
will be discussed briefly. Then, it will be
questioned that what is the target of these
legal institutions that is human rights or
justice and development. Do the effects
of these legal systems spread fairly all over
the world? Additionally, global capitalism
having been strengthened by neoliberalism
deepens the economic gap between the
developed world countries and the rest
of the globe. Hence, it will be indicated to
what extent the neoliberalism effects on
development. Further, these institutions
serve a quite successful mechanism for
ensuring justified economic development
within the first world countries. They
directly show weakening relationship
between development and justice, because
international law has always served for the
interests and concerns of the first world
countries not for the developing countries.
