You don’t get to rewrite global agreements because you don’t like the outcome. A US-led move at #CSW is trying to twist what the Beijing Declaration actually says, and it’s a slippery slope. If this flies, nothing agreed at the UN is safe. #VoteNo✊

🌍 Global trade doesn’t happen in a vacuum it’s guided by shared rules. At the center is the World Trade Organization (WTO), ensuring trade flows smoothly, predictably, and transparently through agreed frameworks. 🔑 The multilateral trading system is built on principles like non-discrimination (MFN), transparency, binding commitments, dispute settlement, and special treatment for developing countries. For Africa, these rules shape market access, industrial policy, and development pathways. 📚 Through our Understanding the WTO series, we’ll unpack these step by step especially as the WTO Ministerial Conference approaches. 📌 Follow the series to understand what this means for Africa’s future. #SEATINIat30 #WTO #MC14 @herbertk4 @SeatiniU @mtic_uganda @GovUganda @South_Centre @AFRODAD2011 @actionaiduganda @OxfaminUganda @TradeJusticeNet @OWINFS @3rdworldnetwork @CameroonGov @wto @endacacid @twnafrica01 @EAC_Trade @TradeMarkAfrica @Vahini @SMannette1
