Abstract

I am very grateful to Anna Rosa for raising an alarm and highlighting an ambiguity that plagues several people regarding their positions in relation to the World Trade Organization (WTO). As an individual, I do not support a pro-WTO position. In fact, this subject was seriously discussed at the last ICSF Animation Team meeting in 1998. Then, Diegus from Brazil and I took a firm position that ICSF should be on the side of the protestors. Diegus also categorically stated that our secretariat should be spending more time with the protesters’ lobby than with the ongoing deliberations of the WTO and other UN bodies. This got reported in the minutes of the meeting, which all the members should have read and responded to. But again, unfortunately, members seem to prefer to keep silent on such issues.
