Abstract:The direction of IGTN advocacy is to reduce the scope of the WTO to trade issues, to ensure food security from the household to the national level, and to restore governments' power to regulate their monetary and financial systems and determine their own development agendas.

The agendas that separated the member states and caused the Seattle Ministerial to collapse remain unresolved today with many countries of the South demanding their agenda for change be taken seriously.

The decision put a sad end to speculations, unleashed by the corruption scandal that ended with Mr. Wolfowitzâ€™s resignation, that the incident was going to cost the US its traditional â€œrightâ€ to appoint the president of the institution, and finally open up the selection to a merit-based, competitive and transparent process.
