adminSpeaking at a meeting of the African Caribbean Pacific bloc and the European Union, in Togo recently, Cde Hlongwane accused the IMF and the World Bank of leading an “International Financial System fraught with irregularities”
“This system has deepened poverty, enslaved ACP economies, and created an International Financial Crisis,” he said.
“Furthermore, the International Ju-stice System is not being served well by the International Criminal Court. The Court has shown blatant bias and created the impression that it is up to punishing African leaders.
“The emergence of the BRICS countries, (Brazil, Russia, India, Chin-a, and South Africa) has changed the world as we know it, creating more opportunities for multi-lateral co-operation which never existed before.
“The ACP-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly, must take a leading role in advocating a greater thrust in multi-polarity for a positive geo-political physiognomy of our contemporary world. The reform of the UN system to allow for a veto voice for the developing countries must be a priority.”
