For favour of publication Joint Statement of Six Communist (Marxist-Leninist) Organisations. Down with Doha Conference New Delhi,November 3.2001 The forces of American imperialism and its closest western ally United Kingdom have been bombing Afghanistan for the past fourth weeks. In this imperialist war of aggression, hundreds of innocent Afghani people including old aged, women and children have been already killed and thousands injured. With infinite arrogance and hypocrisy, this barbaric campaign has been named "Enduring Freedom". These aggressors are the same forces who are trying to impose neo-colonial plunder on developing countries through proposed agenda for "new round of negotiation " to be aggressively launched at Doha Ministerial Level Conference of WTO. This Conference, which is to be held at Doha from 9 to 13 November 2001, would be yet another severe assault on the interests of the world people, especially on the people of Asia-Africa-Latin America. Because the Seattle Conference held two years ago virtually collapsed due to the mighty mass protests out side and division within the imperialist ranks, besides opposition from third world countries. The conference this time is being held in an autocratic kingdom to ward off popular protest. But most obnoxiously, it is being held at a time when US is bent on bombing Afghanistan back to stone age and protests against this tyranny are being voiced by broad masses in third world countries, America, Europe and other developed countries. The heads of G-7 (among G8) countries have agreed to keep away their differences and to aggressively snatch substantive results at Doha so that the burden of intensifying recession in their countries can be transferred to the already devastated third world countries. Besides further liberalization of export-import policies which has already led to de-industrialization and crisis in the agricultural sector in all these countries, the intention of imperialist countries in this conference is to s peed up implementation of patent act and imposing provisions of GATS demanding speedy privatisation of service sector. They are also particular that the non-implementation of already agreed provision by them should not be taken up. Thus in Doha round they want to reap maximum benefits. When a decade of globalisation and seven years of WTO regime have ruined the economy and devastated vast majority of the working classes and peasantry, further assaults at Doha conference is going to create unprecedented miseries in all fields. In this situation organizing all-round resistance to Doha conference in order to force the government to boycott this conference and to quit WTO are of paramount importance Signatories: P.V.Srinivas, CPI(ML) iberation; Yatindra Kumar,CPI (ML) New Democracy; K.N.Ramachandran, CPI(ML) Red Flag; P.K.Murthy, CPI(ML) Unity Initiative; Bachao Ram, COI(ML); Omkar, MCPI. _______________________________________________ Leninist-International mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To change your options or unsubscribe go to: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/leninist-international
