Youth in Trade
Young people have historically not been actively involved in the important trade policy discussions and negotiations facilitated by the World Trade Organization. Yet, trade is considered by many to be the single most important potential contributor to poverty eradication. Young people are very active in grassroot movements on Fair Trade, but have never been granted access to the actual negotiations.

A group of young people from the Global Youth Action Network will travel to Hong Kong for the WTO Ministerial and will try to determine the possibilities of creating a permanent space for young people to participate in future trade negotiations.

Follow the updates from the WTO Ministerial, and get involved yourself if you are interested in trade issues, by joining this Group Blog!

WTO MC6: The Final Countdown!

The Final Countdown

There seems to be no compromise on either side, deadlock..... The draft ministerial text has just been released. Like everyone else in here I am anxiously scrutinizing the text, wondering if once more the WTO will fail us. For too long the WTO has undermined developing countries sovereign rights to pursue development according to their terms and according to what in their judgment is to the greatest benefit of their citizens. The exploitation must stop! In a few short hours we will know the fate of millions of our brothers and sisters plagued by poverty and dying of HIV/AIDS. In a few short hours we will know if there is any future for the WTO

In solidarity,
