Campaign Objectives
SPEAK's Trade Justice Campaign is calling for...
1. The reform of the World Trade Organisation to give poor nations and poor communities an equal say and a fair deal.
2. A review of existing trade rules and their impact on poor people and their environments:
- Trade Related Aspects of the Treaty for Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS)
- The General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS)
- Trade Related Investment Measures (TRIMS)
- Agreement on Agriculture (AoA)
3. Multinational companies to be held accountable for how they treat their workers and impact the places in which they invest.
4. Countries not to be pressured or threatened into entering new negotiations or agreeing new rules under a system where they are manifestly disadvantaged.
5. A new rules-based trading system which has poverty reduction as its core aim.
