Cancellation
of Illegitimate Debt: A cornerstone of the weeklong global action on October
14-21
One of
the cornerstone of the Week of Global Action against Debt and International
Financial Institutions (IFIs) on October 14-21, 2007 is the demand for the
immediate cancellation of illegitimate debts across the globe - Africa, Asia,
Latin America and the Caribbean, Europe and North America. At least 297
organizations from 60 countries
will participate and will strongly raise issues around illegitimate debt cases
in the week-long activity.
Among the
examples of illegitimate debt cases is the Zhong Xing Telecomunication
Equipment Corporation-National Broadband Network (ZTE-NBN) deal between the Governments of the Philippines
and the Peoples Republic
of China.
The USD$
329 million ZTE-NBN contract would have led to a new case of illegitimatedebt. Philippine
debt campaigners, legislators, and the protesting public, successfully forced
the Arroyo administration to cancel the contract. Download Media Advisory 2.
