FOCUS ON TRADE
NUMBER 110 June 2005

IN THIS ISSUE: As the G8 summit to be held in Gleneagles, Scotland, on 6-8 July draws near, we send a message to everyone going to the 'Make Poverty History' rally in Edinburgh, while Stuart Hodkinson goes behind the scenes to see who is pulling the MPH strings. Also in this issue, Walden Bello makes the case at the World Tribunal on Iraq against 'The Coalition of the Willing' and, in part two, Herbert Docena gives evidence to the WTI on the US attempts to restructure and control the Iraq's economy. The final session of the WTI, which concluded today in Istanbul, was described by Walden Bello as 'truly historic, moving, and timely.' For more reports see www.worldtribunal.org
