Resumen

Los órganos judiciales a nivel internacional han proliferado en los últimos cincuenta años en un proceso que se ha considerado "casi anárquico" (Guillaume, G., 2000), creando un riesgo de inconsistencia en sus decisiones que podría poner en peligro el sistema de derecho internacional; los organismos cuasi judiciales como los mecanismos internacionales de rendición de cuenta de los bancos multilaterales de desarrollo no se salvan de este fenómeno legal. Aun cuando tienen diversos procedimientos y jurisdicciones y operan con diferentes conjuntos de salvaguardas ambientales y sociales, pueden enfrentar escenarios fácticos similares, especialmente en el caso de la cofinanciación.


El reciente Proyecto de Expansión de Electricidad de Kenia presentado ante los mecanismos de rendición de cuentas del Banco Mundial y del Banco Europeo de Inversiones ilustra que, a través de un enfoque gerencial, se pueden evitar resoluciones potencialmente conflictivas. Este artículo pretende evidenciar que los órganos cuasi judiciales pueden constituir una fuente de inspiración para el desarrollo integrado del derecho internacional.
