Norway wealth fund reforms would weaken human rights safeguards, Amnesty warns
Original: Norway: Proposed Sovereign Wealth Fund Reforms Would Mark Biggest Setback for Its Human Rights Safeguards in 20 Years
Amnesty International says proposed reforms to Norway's sovereign wealth fund would represent the biggest setback for the fund's human rights safeguards in two decades. The Norwegian fund, one of the world's largest investors, has long been known for excluding companies over rights abuses. Amnesty is urging lawmakers to reject the changes and preserve the fund's ethical screening rules.
Why now: Human rights groups are sounding the alarm as Norway debates changes to the ethics rules of the world's largest sovereign wealth fund.
