Casgliadau i gloi ICESCR 2025, paragraff 15

UN recommendation

Argymhelliad Cymreig clir

Dylai’r Llywodraeth:

Wneud popeth o fewn ei gallu i sicrhau nad yw’r sefydliadau ariannol rhyngwladol y mae’n perthyn iddynt yn cynnwys amodau annheg ar fenthyciadau i wledydd eraill, yn enwedig gwledydd sy’n datblygu. Ni ddylai’r amodau benthyca hyn arwain at ddychwelyd i sefyllfa waeth a mesurau sy’n effeithio’n negyddol ar hawliau o dan y Cyfamod ar Hawliau Economaidd, Cymdeithasol a Diwylliannol (ICESCR). Ni ddylai’r amodau hyn ychwaith niweidio pobl a grwpiau agored i niwed yn afresymol. Dylai’r Llywodraeth hefyd sicrhau bod unrhyw sefydliadau ariannol rhyngwladol y mae’n perthyn iddynt yn cynnal asesiad o’r effaith ar hawliau dynol cyn darparu unrhyw fenthyciad. Dylai’r Llywodraeth ystyried ei datganiadau blaenorol am ddyled gyhoeddus, mesurau torri cyllideb (cyni), a sut maent yn effeithio ar yr hawliau yn yr ICESCR, gan gynnwys llythyr a anfonwyd gan Gadeirydd y Pwyllgor ar 16 Mai, 2012.


Original UN recommendation

The Committee recommends that the State Party make every effort to ensure that the international financial institutions of which it is a member do not attach unsustainable loan conditionalities or impose excessive debt-servicing burdens that would undermine the capacity of borrowing States, particularly developing countries, to meet their obligations under the Covenant. In particular, such conditionalities should not lead to the adoption of unjustified retrogressive measures or a violation of the obligations under the Covenant or have a disproportionate impact on disadvantaged individuals and groups in the borrowing States. In that regard, it also recommends that the State Party ensure that the international financial institutions of which it is a member carry out a human rights impact assessment prior to the provision of a loan. The Committee draws the attention of the State Party to its statement on public debt, austerity measures and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and the letter on austerity measures sent by the Chairperson of the Committee to States Parties on 16 May 2012.
