«Il n‘y a pas un monde développé et un monde sous-développé, mais un seul monde mal développé»
HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION
59th session
17 March – 25 April 2003
[Excerpt from the statement]

All serious studies clearly show that the rules imposed by the WTO on the free movement of agricultural products will sideline the overwhelming majority of the world’s farmers, literally condemning them to death.
