행성은 G8가 바이올린을 켜는 동안 점화한다
목요일, 2008년 7월 제 10 RINF 공개토론에 있는 이 보고를 토론하십시오 > 에 의하여 Ramesh Jaura | 세계의 중요한 공업화하는 국가가 약간 이르고 한정된 승인 후에 수요일 의 비정부 조직을, 종결한 그들의 3 일 정상 회담에 만족을 표현하는 동안, 깊게 전부에 결과에 실망되었다. "정상 (북부 일본 섬 혹가이도에 Toyako에서) G8 국가의 영세민 그리고 시민의 또 다른 배신,"는 Kumi Naidoo 의 빈곤 (계속 GCAP)에 대하여 행동요청 세계적인의 공동 의장 말한 IPS이다. "결과는 많은 국가에 있는 굶주림과 자포자기를 일으키는 원인이 되는 문제점의 심혼의 이해의 부족을 보여준다. 우리는 이 8개의 국가 (브리튼, 프랑스, 독일, 이탈리아, 러시아, 일본, 캐나다 및 미국)의 시민이 그들에 더 밖으로 의 만진ㄴ다는 것을 지도자를 가할 것이라는 점을 희망한다," Naidoo는 밝혔다. "G8가 바이올린을 켜고 있는 동안 행성,"는 GCAP 공동 의장을 추가되어 점화하고 있다. Naidoo는 현실을 가진 접촉에서 G8가 결말 빈곤과 관련있는 주요 문제에 어떻게에 있는 것을 보인지 G8를 관찰하는 10개의 국가의 GCAP 대표자가 깊게 염려했다는 것을 밝혔다. GCAP는 노동 조합의 성장 연립, 지역 사회 그룹, 믿음 그룹, 여자 및 매우 100개의 국가의 맞은편에 함께 일하는 청년 단체, NGOs 및 다른 종군자이다. GCAP는 세계의 지도자에게서 활동을 빈곤과 불평등을 끝내는 그들의 약속을 만나기 위하여 요구하고 있다. "식품값 위기에 관하여 biofuels에 대한 어떤 진짜 면담든지의 부족은 지독하다. 건강, 교육 및 물에 참고는 이다, 충분한 자원 및 우주 비행중의 스케줄 투입에 의해 슬프게, 지원하지 않아," Naidoo를 말했다. G8가 "MDGs에 아첨"를 지불하는 동안, 그들의 투입은 이 미니멀리스트 목표 조차 2015년까지 실패의 모험에 심각하게 다는 것을, Naidoo 말했다 건의한다. MDGs는 HIV/AIDS의 퍼짐을 정지하고 보편적인 초등 교육 제공하기에 극단적인 빈곤 등분에서 배열하는 2015년의 목표 마감일 이 만나진 8개 천년기 발달 목표, 이다. 이들은 2000년 9월에 있는 유엔 주의회의 특별 회의에 그리고 정부 국가 원수에 의해 동의되었다. G8는 발달과 ", 뜻깊은 도전이 남아 있는 아프리카에 문서에서 진전이 보이더라도 밝혔다. 우리는 이 목표에 우리의 노력을 그리고 노력의 격려 뿐만 아니라 우리의 공동체정신을을 가진 소생시켜서, 강화해서 경신한다 우리의 투입을, 상호적인 출납책임에 근거한 개발도상국." Minar Pimple, Asia director of the UN Millennium Campaign commented: “Reaffirmation of MDG commitment is a positive signal in the run-up to the MDG high level event in September, but the financial resources on the table fall short of what needs to be achieved by 2015.” GCAP said that the G8 communiqué this year only reiterates most of the group’s earlier commitments “but the world has changed for the worse since 2005.” The increase in food prices by 30 to 45 percent has had a devastating effect, especially on women and children trying to survive on less than a dollar a day, GCAP warns. Millions more are being pushed into poverty, it says. “Japan was not able to muster up the leadership we hoped to see from them as summit host,” GCAP Japan representative Tatsuo Hayashi said. “The Japanese people wanted more action to end poverty, so they will be disappointed too.” These remarks stand in stark contrast to the kudos Japanese Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda received this week from summit participants for his “leadership, commitment and sense of purpose,” as one participant described it. In another analysis of the conference documents, GCAP welcomed the 10 billion dollars pledged by the G8 since January 2008 towards the global food price crisis, but said “it is still a knee-jerk response that doesn’t address the long-term structural causes. “The G8 promotion of the ‘development of open and efficient agricultural and food markets’ has denied poor people the chance to feed themselves today. It treats food as a mere commodity,” said Joseph Ssuuna of the PELUM Association in Uganda, which is a member of GCAP. “The G8 also seem to be pressing for quick-fix trade negotiations which we believe would be devastating — no deal is better than a bad deal,” said Charles Abani of GCAP Africa. “Tragically, market-driven development, one of the principal causes of the present food crisis, appears to be the solution offered by the present G8 leaders. This is appalling,” said Dian Kartika of GCAP Indonesia. Reacting to the G8 leaders’ statement on the Global Food Security Tuesday, farmer leader from the ‘Via Campesina’ group Yoshitaka Mashima said: “We do not understand why the G8 leaders pretend to solve the food crisis with more free trade while it is the liberalisation of agriculture and food markets that continue to lead us to the current crisis. “People need to eat local food to protect themselves from the instability of world markets. We do not need more imported food,” Mashima told IPS. At a press conference Wednesday, farmers’ leaders said that the G8 governments were mistakenly using the current food and climate crisis to promote the free trade agenda that is serving large companies, and not producers of food or the consumers. The G8 leaders’ statement insists on reviving the agonising WTO negotiations and on preventing countries from regulating food exports. “Small farmers around the world, men and women, have experienced the devastating effects of free trade and WTO policies on livelihoods and local food production,” the farmers’ statement said. “They defend the right of countries to protect their domestic markets, to support sustainable family farmers, and to market food in the countries where it is produced.” It said that the G8 leaders also fail to address two major causes of the current food price crisis: speculation by major traders and transnational companies, and the development of bio-fuel as a new source of energy. “It is important to keep in mind that these root causes of the food crisis are the consequences of the neo-liberal policies promoted by the G8 governments, the WTO, the World Bank and other institutions,” Mashima said. The farmers point out that the G8 also explicitly promotes genetically modified organisms (GMO) as a solution to the food crisis. In doing so, they say, the G8 countries forget that the development of industrial agriculture, with the use of GMO seeds, large amounts of chemical pesticides, fertilisers and monoculture has left millions of farmers in debt. The statement also challenges the G8 claim about “fostering small holder agriculture.” But Mashima said: “We are wondering how the world’s richest nations will support small farmers if they do not even allow them to enter the countries where they are meeting.” Nineteen Korean farmers from Via Campesina were deported from Hokkaido airport Jul. 5 after being detained for 48 hours on the grounds that they could disturb the official meetings. Mashima said that peasants and small food producers currently produce the bulk of world food, and no solution to the current crisis will be found without listening to them.
