What It Means
This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "The rules of the game must be changed so that loans are not granted on purely economic considerations and that the loan “conditionalities” henceforth aim at advancing the wellbeing of the populations concerned." in the context of "Report of the Independent Expert on the adverse impact of World Bank policies on human rights and the realisation of a democratic and equitable international order http://ap.ohchr.org/documents/dpage_e.aspx?si=A/HRC/36/40." to mean that wisdom is timeless.
