INTERNET-ORIENTED SCHEMES IN THE OHADA ZONE Following our recent option to add to Ohada Legis a subject matter on internet-oriented schemes in the Ohada Zone, a series of press releases from the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) shall be published here. Dr Evelyne MANDESSI BELL "GOOD PROSPECTS FOR IT INDUSTRY IN 2003, PREDICTS UNCTAD Developing world looks to e-business for growth" PRESS RELEASE TAD/INF/PR/65 of Novembre 18,2002 (for use of information media) This Press Release has been reproduced in two parts. 1st Part hereunder. E-commerce is thriving around the globe. But where developing countries are concerned, as long as the business-to-business (B2B) end of the market does not take off, e-commerce volumes there will remain "negligible", warns the E-commerce and Development Report 2002 (1). The report says that the route to a prosperous B2B sector, and its attendant benefits for the economy at large, lies in joining regional and global supply chains.Prospects for that happening are good, especially given that the rapid growth in both e-commerce and Internet use is expected to continue. This applies particularly to the developing world, where penetration rates are lower. Internet use soared 30% last year, with one third of all new users in the developing world. E-commerce is also increasing in these countries, although more slowly, and that is particularly true of B2B, which comprises 95% of all e-commerce. The main impediment to the takeoff of B2B in the third world is inadequate information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure, as well as shortcomings in physical infrastructure, logistics and trade facilitation.

Get Five DVDs for $.49 each. Join now. Tell me when this page is updated GNBCC NEWSLETTER Latin America is Black America, too! By: Harry C. Alford, Slavery in the United States indeed taught us to hate ourselves. A lingering effect of that self hatred has been the denial of recognizing our own relatives in the Western Hemisphere. We sit here in the United States and call Cuba "Hispanic" when it is predominantly black. Brazil has a black population that is twice ours (76 million!) and we say they have a Portuguese heritage.  The fact is that South America and the Caribbean holds over 100 million black folks whose blood, legacy and heritage is exactly the same as ours. We come from the same villages, took the same despicable voyages and endured the same vile slavery that was conjured up by European royalty and the Vatican hundreds of years ago. We are the same! So let's start acting like it.  Until we solidify our relationships at home with our "cousins" we will not be adequately prepared to re-associate ourselves with the motherland of Africa. The 15% of the Black Diaspora that is located in the Americas must form to become one. Thus, there is a need to build a viable infrastructure and that must be through economical interaction. International Trade from the United States and from a black perspective must begin with South America and the Caribbean. The recent Brazil trade mission conducted by the NBCC clearly shows the vast opportunity that awaits us throughout Latin America.

Going Down to Rio No siestas for investors by Diana Brebner Countries such as Brazil and Argentina, which suffered for years from hyperinflation, have taken aggressive steps to stabilize currencies and their respective economies. These steps appear to be paying off. Latin American firms and governments are now in a better position to invest in IT, and an elite of affluent consumers are poised to spend their disposable incomes on advanced technology, Internet access and e-commerce. These planned investments are stimulated largely by the perception that IT, the Internet and e-commerce are key to improved productivity and international competitiveness. Governments in some countries, such as Brazil and Argentina, are initiating programs to help businesses, schools, government agencies and other organizations increase their IT investment. Many Latin American companies are eager to learn about the benefits of e-commerce and are interested in purchasing the equipment and services needed to go on-line. It would be a mistake, however, to approach Latin America as a single market: the cultural, linguistic and economic diversity of these southern countries is quickly apparent. Latin America consists of over 40 South American, Central American and Caribbean nations.

With two weeks remaining before Colombian president-elect Alvaro Uribe Velez takes power, the largest circulation newspaper in Colombia, El Tiempo El Tiempo , July 21, 2002 'No, thanks' The Latin American economy, with the exception of modest accomplishments like those of Mexico and Chile, is a disaster. The winds of crisis are blowing throughout the region; and projected economic growth rates have been revised downwards, postponing millions of Latin Americans' hopes of climbing out of poverty. According to the United Nations' Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean, the number of people living in poverty increased from 136 million to 211 million between 1980 and 1999, while there was a scandalous growth in the concentration of wealth. The effects of the neo-liberal hurricane are in sight. A deep-rooted populist governs a radically polarized Venezuela. In Peru, violent street protests forced the resignation of free market advocates from the cabinet of the unpopular Toledo administration. And, facing this situation, what does the United States do? Occasionally, they confirm, by means of sophisticated satellites, how coca and heroin poppy crops move around from one country to another. In Bolivia, where these crops were practically done away with, they are now being replanted; and in Peru the anti-narcotics program has been suspended due to poor results. Almost all the illicit crops have moved to Colombia. In spite of the aggressive fumigation campaign, they continue supplying the huge market of the North. There, the market has proved far more powerful than the underhanded "War on Drugs" – although it would be unjust to deny that Washington's single-minded obsession with drugs has allowed for an unprecedented arrival of important resources to Colombia (partly through Plan Colombia) to strengthen the Armed Forces.

Dominican economic growth during 1997 was the highest in the region, according to figures of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC). It is worthy to note that it was the highest growth rate registered in the decade. In 1997 all economic activities showed positive growth rates.

THE FREE TRADE AREA OF THE AMERICAS: INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND THE IMPACT ON ACCESS TO MEDICINES Introduction The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was established in 1994 by Canada, Mexico and the United States to establish a free trade zone across the three countries. NAFTA has had a mixed reception, with supporters, including governments and major industries, arguing that it opens access to markets, increases exports and promotes investment, while opponents, often small businesses and non-governmental organisations, argue that it has led to much unemployment, has not improved living standards and has not restrained malpractice by large international companies. Whatever its successes or failures, NAFTA will soon be superseded. At the Americas Summit In Miami in December 1994, the ministers of commerce of all 34 countries in the hemisphere, except Cuba, agreed to establish a free commerce zone "from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego". Negotiations to establish the principles underlying the proposed Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) are expected to be complete by 2005. However, lack of transparency in the negotiations worries many organisations working in public health, which suspect that intellectual property rights will be over-protected at the expense of hundreds of millions of the region’s inhabitants. Driving Forces There are significant economic disparities across the hemisphere. The United States and Canada represent 80 percent of the economic weight of the Americas. Many of the remaining 32 countries are small, with a poor manufacturing base, little access to credit, infrastructure problems and poor service; three – Nicaragua, Honduras and Haiti – are among the world’s most highly indebted nations. Of the over 800 million people that will be covered by the agreement, nearly 500 million live in Latin America and half of these in poverty.

[Print Friendly Version] Building Hemispheric Democracy Luis J. Lauredo, Ambassador to the Organization of American States and U.S. Summit Coordinator Address at Trinity College Washington, DC January 22, 2001 I came to this country from Cuba when I was a teenager and grew up in Miami. Miami is an international city, built by immigrants from all over the Americas and in many ways representative of the trend toward globalization. As people and nations become closer through commerce and technology, the world becomes more like Miami an international city where borders define geographic parameters, rather than economic and cultural parameters. As the world gets smaller, our future lies more and more on preserving and strengthening our ties with other nations and in particular, with our neighbors. We need to understand that it is in our national interest to have neighbors who are politically and economically stable. Our goal should be a hemisphere that is united by our shared values such as democracy, respect for human rights, and economic opportunity and that is up held through shared values and shared responsibilities. As Ambassador to the Organization of American States, National Summit Coordinator for the United States for Summit of the Americas III to be held April 20-22 in Quebec City, Canada and as the former Executive Director the 1994 Miami Summit, I have had the privilege to help develop the new architecture of U.S.-Latin American relations.

Return of the Cold Warriors June, 2001 It was refreshing to see george W. Bush travel to Mexico on his first official trip abroad. Latin America was at best a low priority for Bill Clinton, who didn't visit the region until his second term. President Bush has made it clear that Latin America matters to him. “I will look south, not as an afterthought, but as a fundamental commitment of my presidency,” Bush said during last year’s presidential campaign. “Those who ignore Latin America do not fully understand America itself.” Now that is nice and unusual commentary from a U.S. president. But actions speak louder than words. Bush subsequently suggested he didn’t understand Latin America—specifically its huge political progress in the past two decades—by naming two Cold War ideologues from the Reagan era to high diplomatic posts. Such a move sends a clear signal to the region’s leaders: Stand back and let us get things done the old way, through dirty deals that end-run your own legitimate roles as elected leaders. It is possible that Congress will have done the right thing by the time this column is published: rejected Bush’s choice for assistant secretary of state for Latin American affairs. The nominee, Otto Juan Reich, in the 1980s headed a government agency accused of running an illegal, covert propaganda effort against Nicaragua's leftist Sandinista government and in favor of the anti-government Contra rebels. In 1987, the United States comptroller general found that Reich’s office engaged in “prohibited, covert propaganda activities beyond the range of acceptable agency public information activities.”

This is why democracy is being destroyed in the United States and around the world. The goal of the U.S. ruling class and its puppet U.S. government is military and economic domination and exploitation of the entire world. It has nothing to do with terrorism or standing for justice or any such nonsense. But democracy could not be destroyed without the help of their cheerleaders, the U.S. mass media. That is why it is important that none of the things I have mentioned ever gets reported. http://www.aztlan.net/deathdem.htm

Reasons for Hope But remarkably, and unlike many other developing regions in the world following the aftermath of the World Trade Center attack, growth in trade and economic development indicators by many countries in the African subcontinent have remained stable on a relative basis, and some have posted admirable growth – of the kind American economist might envy given current U.S. market conditions and economic outlook. For instance, the Economic Freedom Network, an organization that supports and advocates for a more thoughtful and coherent route in the World's march to ward “globalization,” published a well-received Spring 2002 report titled “ Economic Freedom in the World. Impressively several sub-Saharan African nations rank much higher than many so-called free and “democratic” states among industrialized nations. Botswana, for example, ranks 38th equally with France, South Korea and others; and South Africa ranks 47th – well ahead of Mexico (66th), Argentina (81st), China (101) and Russia (116). Even more interestingly, these are just two of the same 17 sub-Saharan African nations that through the 1990's have made impressive gains according to World development indicators, and have shown remarkable economic resilience in the face of declining global markets despite the post-bubble market volatility and global economic uncertainty.

SAMPLE LETTER. SIGNEES ARE LISTED BELOW CLICK HERE TO SEE ALL RECIPIENTS 14 March 2001 Lawrence Lindsey Assistant to the President for Economic Policy The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington DC 20502 Dear Mr. Lindsey, We are encouraged by our understanding that the Bureau of Export Administration will administer exports to Cuba under a license exception arrangement that will permit U.S. exporters to self-certify their sales to Cuba without the necessity of case-by-case licensing. Since the legislation unfortunately prohibits U.S. private and government financing for sales to Cuba, it is especially important that that a case-by-case approval hurdle be eliminated. We are deeply disturbed by reports that the regulations are likely to maintain existing U.S. restrictions requiring end-use verification on the export of medicine to Cuba, despite the clear instruction in Section 903 to end all unilateral agricultural and medical sanctions in order to allow Cubans access to these life-saving products. Such an interpretation is clearly at odds with Congressional intent, and we strongly recommend that sales of medicine be permitted under the liberalized framework provided for in the Trade Sanctions Reform Act by eliminating the untenable requirement of end-use verification. We also expect you will make available for sales the full spectrum of goods the legislation covers; that is, which comply with the definition of agricultural products under the Agricultural Trade Act (7 U.S.C 5602) covering agricultural and food commodities and "the products thereof" as well as the full range of medical products such as crutches, prosthesis, surgical and blood supplies, hospital beds and ambulances. It is also essential that companies be allowed to honor service agreements on medical equipment sold to Cuba.
