They are: Colombia, Ecuador, Trinidad and Tobago, Philippines, Suriname, Haiti, Dominican Republic and Panama.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the letter, the signatories claim that Weintraub does not possess the \u201cminimum ethical, professional and moral qualifications to occupy the seat of the 15th Executive Board of Directors of the World Bank\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The letter also draws the attention of the ambassadors to the fact that the appointment of the former minister to this position \u201ccould cause irreparable harm to the standing of your countries in the World Bank\u201d. It also informs that Weintraub does not meet various requirements and principles of the World Bank\u2019s Code of Conduct for Board Officials.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The document notes that the conduct of Abraham Weintraub represents the \u201cantithesis of everything that the World Bank seeks to represent in development policy and in multilateralism\u201d:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ideology over evidence-based policy<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span
