Activists Disrupted Talk by WTO Director

2006-11-06T18:45:00+0200

On Wednesday, November 1, the JFK Forum at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government hosted Pascal Lamy, Director General of the World Trade Organization. The subject of the lecture was posed as a question: "Is the WTO Accountable?"

Shortly after the address began, three Boston activists took turns standing up and loudly disrupting the event. Each wore a bright red headband inscribed with the words, NO WTO. They read, in part, statements charging the WTO with putting profits before people and destroying the lives, ecosystems, and communities of people around the world. All three were quickly and forcibly dragged from the building, while still delivering their indictments, by Harvard security and Cambridge police.

Water Privatisation: World Bank, IMF, WTO

2006-09-10T00:00:00+0200

Giant water projects, in most cases, benefit the powerful, dispossess the weak. Even when such projects are publicly funded, their beneficiaries are mainly construction companies, industries, and commercial farmers. While privatization is generally couched in rhetoric about the disappearing role of the state, what we actually see is increased state intervention in water policy, subverting community control over water resources. Policies imposed by the World Bank, and trade liberalization rules crafted by the World Trade Organization (WTO), are creating a sweeping culture of corporate-states all over the world.

WTO: Neocolonisation and Corporate Takeover

WTO - An Instrument of Neocolonisation and Corporate Takeover

Vandana Shiva

The World Trade Organisation (WTO) has provided a powerful forum for developed countries to erode the economic sovereignty of the Third World Countries including ours. Our market has been forced to open for goods and services of the multinationals particularly holders of the monopoly rights in intellectual property.

Quietly, the WTO Doha Round Collapses

2006-07-30T15:11:00+0200

We say that we are winning. Well, without much fanfare, the Doha round of WTO negotiations officially failed this week. This is the round that has been negotiated since 2001, and the groundwork for the round was laid even before that. After so many years with so many people putting their bodies on the line and enduring so much police violence to stop these talks, it finally happened. Wow.

Indian farmers and the WTO

2006-07-11T15:23:00+0200

We are very much concerned with the recent developments in the WTO negotiations on agriculture. In the current negotiations to conclude the
modalities on agriculture before the General Council at the end of July, it is becoming clearer that once again the interests of Indian farmers and other developing countries and their farmers are in danger.
