The Independent Expert identifies several good practices in the Icelandic crisis that
States facing a financial crisis can adopt to prevent negative human rights impacts in the
context of economic adjustment programmes. He concludes that international organizations
and other countries can learn from the particular path that Iceland chose, which included
protecting its core social welfare system, making efforts to ensure citizen participation in
the decision-making process and endeavouring to establish political, administrative and
judicial accountability.
