Dr Margot Salomon (ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ Law) has added her name to an open letter by leading academics and economists calling for sovereign debt restructuring, including debt relief, in the wake of the COVID-19 crisis. The letter pushes back against attempts by some of Argentina’s holdout creditors to return to a predatory system that undermines orderly debt restructuring arrangements. Their actions reflect a particularly regressive step that enriches the few at the expense of a socially and economically sustainable response to Argentina’s debt crisis. Dr Salomon remarks that international best practice rejects these self-interested schemes and instead requires that human well-being, social protection and the socio-economic rights of the Argentinian people are recognised as paramount in the settlement.
