It was not long before the dark shadow of the WTO and the IMF began to loom over UNCTAD. When the tenth UNCTAD meeting convened in Bangkok in February 2000, Michel Camdessus, Managing Director of the IMF, appeared as an honored guest. His scheduled speech bode ill for the Group of 77 and their progressive trade agenda. Although Mr. Camdessus said "poverty was the greatest concern of our time," and added that the "widening gaps between the most affluent and most impoverished nations were morally outrageous," many could not help but notice that the IMF had engineered the gaps and that its continuing austerity programs would make them wider still. Around the world, economists agreed that the fiscal policies imposed by the IMF on Brazil, Russia, South Korea, and Indonesia during the late 19...

We decided that we would not respond to one of the 191 parliaments," [Dumisani Kumalo] told reporters after the meeting, adding, "If we respond to the US today, tomorrow we might have to respond to the South African parliament, and on, and on, and on.
On February 9, Ambassador Kumalo called a press conference to explain that all member states of the UN were interested in rooting out corruption. The South African ambassador, speaking as the chairman of the Group of 77, noted that media reports indicated that "it's the United States only that cares about this." There are 191 member states, he stressed. "If I may talk as South Africa for a minute, we contribute to this organization," ambassador Kumalo said, adding, "My government is also interested that there should be no corruption in t...

After two years of raucous meetings at great hotels and resorts around the world, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) failed to deliver a treaty in Copenhagen in December. The clash of national interests over who would be required to cripple their economies to "save the planet" from the chimera of global warming proved insurmountable. The flawed process should have ended, but UNFCCC is pressing on. Talks will open again in Bonn on Friday, to be followed by several more negotiating junkets before a grand sequel to Copenhagen is held next December in Cancun, Mexico.
The accord reached in Copenhagen in lieu of a treaty was the best of all possible outcomes for the United States. Though it paid lip service to the two-track approach, which had pitted America ag...
