(CENTRI, 21 May 2008)

From 13th to 16th of May, the bi-regional network Europe-Latin America and Carribean is convening a session of the Permanent Peoples’ Tribunal (PPT) within the Peoples’ Summit Enlazando Alternativas.

Accused and judged before the Tribunal are European transnational companies in Latin America as well as the national and international mechanisms (financial, media, legal, etc.) and actors (the EU, the governments of its member states as well as the governments of Latin American countries, WTO, World Bank) which enable, legitimate and support the companies in their actions. With this Tribunal session, we are continuing and deepening the research of the PPT on the conflict between economic system and human rights.

The final resolution based on the accusations, evidence, documentation and the witnesses heard in the hearing – which was initiated in Lima in May 2006 and will continue in Lima – aims to expose the structural human rights violations committed by these companies, supported by the neoliberal system. Furthermore, we aim to advance in the search for alternatives that re-create the rights of peoples as opposed to companies’ rights.

Ceci est un média alternatif de publication ouverte. Le collectif CMAQ, qui gère la validation des contributions sur le Indymedia-Québec, n'endosse aucunement les propos et ne juge pas de la véracité des informations. Ce sont les commentaires des Internautes, comme vous, qui servent à évaluer la qualité de l'information. Nous avons néanmoins une Politique éditoriale , qui essentiellement demande que les contributions portent sur une question d'émancipation et ne proviennent pas de médias commerciaux.

This is an alternative media using open publishing. The CMAQ collective, who validates the posts submitted on the Indymedia-Quebec, does not endorse in any way the opinions and statements and does not judge if the information is correct or true. The quality of the information is evaluated by the comments from Internet surfers, like yourself. We nonetheless have an Editorial Policy , which essentially requires that posts be related to questions of emancipation and does not come from a commercial media.
