Call for a South-North Consultation
Resistances and Alternatives to Debt Domination
Twenty years have passed since the holding, in Havana, of a series of multisectoral conferences aimed at dealing with the external debt problems in Latin America and the Caribbean. Those gatherings helped to generate greater global consciousness about the real nature of the problem as well as to strengthen the struggle against the payment of a debt that enslaves. Fidel Castro echoed what had been expressed by the enormous diversity of participants, when he declared that the debt of the countries of the South of the world is unpayable not only mathematically and financially but also morally and politically.

Trade talks head for autumn of discontent
The European Union has once again demonstrated that the interests of European big business are its top priority in these talks, claimed development campaigners the World Development Movement (WDM) in Geneva today. Despite the ’development round’ rhetoric the interests of the poor are being opposed, sidelined and ignored. [Lire]

La proposition du G8 sur la dette menacée au FMI
Le 11 juin 2005, les ministres des Finances des pays du G8, le groupe des huit pays les plus industrialisés, ont annoncé de façon tonitruante un accord qualifié d’historique : l’effacement de la dette détenue par 18 pays pauvres envers la Banque mondiale, la Banque africaine de développement (BAD) et le Fonds monétaire international (FMI), soit 40 milliards de dollars. A terme, 20 autres pays pourraient en bénéficier, portant le total à 55 milliards de dollars. Il peut paraître très étrange que les dirigeants du G8, ardents défenseurs de la « bonne gouvernance » et de la « transparence » chez les autres, aient pris l’initiative d’annuler des créances détenues par la Banque mondiale, la BAD et le FMI sans que ces trois institutions n’aient leur mot à dire. Ce n’était que partie remise : on vient d’apprendre que dès les jours suivants, plusieurs pays du Nord non membres du G8 se sont agités au FMI et ont mis en cause cette décision. [Lire]

Confronting the Challenge:
Resisting Privatisation of Resources and Services
We the participants from various social movements, civil society groups, trade unions and political parties are deeply engaged in challenging and resisting the onslaught of neoliberal globalization. Privatization of basic services and natural resources, one of the major policies of the neoliberal agenda, is being relentlessly promoted and imposed in many countries. The transfer of control of basic services from national governments to private providers especially big national and international corporations is a deliberate erosion of national sovereignty, human rights, and the quality of people’s lives.

Leaks reveal IMF threat to already weak
Joint press release by the World Development Movement and Jubilee Debt Campaign
Debt campaigners today revealed leaked documents that show European representatives at the IMF are suggesting major modifications to last week’s G8 debt deal. These could delay or even halt the debt cancellation promised to 18 countries by the G8 and maintain an IMF stranglehold over developing country economies even after they qualify for debt cancellation.

G8’s Completely Predictable Failure
The G8 meeting in Gleneagles Scotland delivered a rebuff not only to the 3 billion people who live in poverty around the world but also to the Make Poverty History Campaign that had created expectations that the G8 was ready to announce measures to wipe out poverty. [Lire]

Accès universel au traitement sida
Le G8 doit commencer par financer l’initiative « 3x5 »
Aujourd’hui vendredi 8 juillet, les chefs d’Etat et de gouvernement du G8 se sont engagés en faveur de l’accès universel au traitement sida d’ici 2010. Act Up-Paris se félicite de cette prise de conscience, mais espère qu’il ne s’agit pas une fois de plus d’un effet d’annonce des dirigeants du G8 face à l’impératif humanitaire et sanitaire que constitue la lutte contre l’hécatombe du sida, qui a déjà fait près de 30 millions de morts.
