[Qui-deu-a-qui] Tribunal contra las IFIs en La Haya para la semana de acciones

[iolanda.fresnillo en debtwatch.org]

Hola a todas y todos

He recibido una información interesante que igual nos puede inspirar o  
incluso ser útil. El dia 15 de octubre, coincidiendo con la semana de  
acciones globales contra la deuda y en el marco de la Campaña Europea  
contra el Banco Mundial, se está pensando en hacer un Tribunal popular  
en La Haya contra el Banco Mundial, el FMI y las IFIs en general. Para  
ello estan pensando en traer a gente del Sur. Estan implicadas  
diferentes organizaciones como Eurodad, Friends of the Earth  
International i A SEED (una ONG Holandesa)

Les he enviado un mail para preguntar hasta que punto podemos  
"aprovechar" a la gente del Sur que vendrá a Europa para el Tribunal.  
Ellas piden si hay organizaciones que puedan colaborar en la  
invitación de gentes del Sur. Lo comento porque si en vuestros nodos  
tenéis pensado invitar a alguien, que se tenga en cuenta el tema del  
Tribunal para fechas y, si se puede, compartir gastos con otras  
organizaciones europeas. Os envio los mails que se han enviado sobre  
el tema hasta ahora.

Besos y hasta pronto

Dear all,

Most of you have read in the meeting and conference call notes that we  
are planning a tribunal in The Hague on October 15 as a joint European  
action and highlight of the World Bank Campaign.

During that ‘Global Week of Action’ there will be a lot of different  
things going on and I will start to discuss with other organisers  
whether we can cooperate with the invitation of Southern partners etc.  
I would now like to get some feedback on which organisations will get  
involved in the planning of the event and to what extend.

The tribunal is so far an idea that we have agreed on, it will include  
testimonies of Southerners about the impact of economic  
conditionalities and fossil fuel projects, probably some as videos but  
mostly live. Everything else is still open to discussion and I am  
happy to collect ideas!

But certainly I should have a rough idea of who will contribute to  
make this event happen by the end of this week, so I am looking  
forward to hearing from you.

Thanks!

All the best,
Juliane

Dear all,

Thanks Juliane for kicking off this discussion. I'd like to let you all
know that A SEED Europe and Friends of the Earth International (both
based in The Netherlands) have been having some preliminary discussions
about the idea of a Tribunal/testimonial session in The Hague and we
would be very happy to help organise and locally host this event.

However, if we really want to aim for October, quite a bit of work needs
to be done. It would be very helpful to hear from you what suggestions
you have for the set-up of the Tribunal, as well as the audience and
objectives.

The good news: October 15 would coincide with a European speakers tour
of indigenous leaders from Latin America with whom I am in touch. They
are very enthousiastic about participating in the Tribunal.

It would be great if we could hear who of you also have the time,
inspiration and energy to make this Tribunal happen!

Warmest
Janneke
