Sign-on Letter with 38 International and 137 National Organizations from Across the Globe Delivered to Negotiators at UNCTAD XIII in Doha

Today, global civil society delivered a letter that calls on negotiators at the 13th quadrennial conference of the UN Conference on Trade and Development, UNCTAD XIII, to ensure that conference strengthens UNCTAD’s role on keys issues of global economic governance and financial reform.

The letter reads, in part:

Fortalecer, no debilitar el papel de UNCTAD en la gobernanza mundial: en pos de un desarrollo sustentable e incluyente, no de más crisis

Desde el inicio de las crisis financiera y económica, UNCTAD ha desempeñado un papel importante en la identificación de las causas principales de las crisis, brindándoles asistencia a los países en desarrollo en la búsqueda de soluciones frente a los impactos de las crisis, y abogando por la reforma de las políticas y la gobernanza mundial económica y financiera con el fin de prevenir la recurrencia de crisis similares. Estos son todos roles clave que ningún otro organismo económico multilateral ha cumplido desde una perspectiva centrada en el desarrollo.
