Me prohibieron el ingreso a la OMC por defender los derechos de los pueblos

Friends of the Earth International denounces the Argentine government for barring them and 60 other civil society members from the December 2017 WTO conference in Buenos Aires. The organization argues that WTO policies often obstruct climate action and food sovereignty, citing the penalization of India's National Solar Mission and public food reserve programs in developing countries. The statement further criticizes the secrecy surrounding trade agreements like RCEP and TTIP, calling for a trade system based on human rights, sustainable environmental policy, and food sovereignty.

• The Argentine government revoked the accreditation of Friends of the Earth International and 60 members of unions, peasant organizations, and consumer rights groups for the WTO conference in Buenos Aires (December 10-13, 2017), alleging they incited violent protests on social media, a claim the organization denies.
• The organization asserts that WTO policies act as barriers to climate change measures, specifically citing the WTO's ruling against India's National Solar Mission, which aimed to generate 100 GW of solar energy to provide power to millions, because it created local jobs.
• WTO policies are criticized for prohibiting developing countries from implementing public food reserve programs, which the document states hinders food sovereignty for indigenous peoples and small-scale farmers while allowing the US and EU to provide market-distorting subsidies for agribusiness.
• The document highlights a systemic lack of transparency in trade negotiations, noting that the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) involving 16 Asian countries and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) have been negotiated largely in secret with limited public participation.
