NGOs, SOCIAL MOVEMENTS CONDEMN DOHA MINISTERIAL AS A DEVELOPMENT DISASTER AND A MANIPULATIVE PROCESS

More than a hundred NGOs and social movements participating in a post-Doha meeting on the WTO in Brussels on 7-9 December have condemned the WTO’s Doha Ministerial Conference for being a Development Disaster (“everything but development”).   They were also appalled by the extremely manipulative tactics used by major powers and the Secretariat to push through a Declaration which lacks public legitimacy.

These views were also expressed in the first joint statement by NGOs and social movements since Doha.
