UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein, addresses the UN General Assembly/Third Committee on Human Rights

This final episode in our Investigating International Finance series explores the controversial ways in which global finance interacts with the developing world. Western financial firms can buy, restructure, and then sell off companies, often leaving them saddled with debt. We also look at 'land grabbing', the widespread selling and leasing of land in Africa to corporations, which can result in governments evicting local people from their land.
