'The discretion of the Bureau to hold small groups or working groups bears the danger of compromising an inclusive negotiation process reflecting the infamous “Green Room” negotiations at the World Trade Organization.'

#WTO : #CTE a new battleground for controversial #trade & #climate change issues without any prior ministerial mandate, with the United States seeking multilateral discussions on the trade aspects and implications of certain #environmental measures.

#WHO : The Bureau’s proposal is itself weak already as it lacks an effective implementation means to address the lack of equity in #IHR especially its silence on access to #health products and the lack of a financial vehicle to assist the implementation.

#WHO : #Monkeypox and avian #flu outbreaks stress need for equitable access. It is crucial to amend the #IHR 2005, a legally binding instrument with 196 countries, to include provisions on equitable access and these must be given the utmost priority.

#Trade : #WTO report on #carbon -pricing stirs up a “hornet’s nest”. It ignores the fact that developing countries know that industrialized countries failed to fulfill their financial commitments, whether it is ODA or the $100 billion #climate pledge.

Opinion: #Trade deception returns in Pan-Africanist guise. Hence, “developing countries would be ill-advised to follow the radical recommendations of the World Bank’s liberalisation strategy insofar as it is drawn from the current trade models.”
