Resolution on economic justice, trade and development

Challenge 21 Festival - 15th World Council of YMCAs - Mexico - 2002

We call upon the World Assembly to:

Promote knowledge and understanding of the effects of global trade rules amongst worldwide members of the YMCAs with special emphasis on young people. Therefore we require the World Alliance to facilitate the exchange of information and discussion through their website.

Mandate the World Movement to review their purchasing policies to insure that they are consistent with Challenge 21.

Mandate to the World Alliance to work with other organisations such as the Trade Justice Movement and the Ecumenical Advocacy Alliance.

Mandate the World Alliance to advocate trade justice to international organisations.

We call upon the national movements to:

Partner with the World Alliance in taking forward these issues at a national level and to members of the local YMCAs.
