3rd WTO MINISTERIAL CONFERENCE
Top 10 Reasons to Oppose the World Trade Organization? Criticism, yes misinformation, no!
The WTO and its members welcome the proliferation of comment and criticism. The WTO website has links to a number of critical sites so that users of the WTO site from around the world can see these opinions for themselves.
However, a number of websites contain accusations against the WTO which are based on incorrect information or downright falsehoods.
These are some typical accusations which can be found, for example on the Global Exchange website at http://www.globalexchange.org/economy/rulemakers/topTenReasons.html, The Revolt Collection, Ireland, at http://flag.blackened.net/revolt/nowto/brief_wrong.html, etc.
