Karen Hudes studied law at Yale Law School and economics at the
University of Amsterdam. She worked in the US Export Import Bank of the
US from 1980-1985 and in the Legal Department of the World Bank from
1986-2007. She established the Non Governmental Organization Committee
of the International Law Section of the American Bar Association and the
Committee on Multilateralism and the Accountability of International
Organizations of the American Branch of the International Law
Association.
What did Karen Hudes blow the whistle on?
In 2007 Karen warned the US Treasury Department and US Congress that the
US would lose its right to appoint the President of the World Bank if
the current American President of the World Bank did not play by the
rules. The 66 year old Gentlemen’s Agreement that Europe would appoint
the Managing Director of the IMF and US would appoint the World Bank
President ended in 2010
