Committee for the Abolition of Illegitimate Debt

The National Union of Bank Employees, NUBE (UNEB La Unión Nacional de Empleados Bancarios) and the National Federation of Colombian Bank Unions (la Federación Nacional de Sindicatos Bancarios Colombianos FENASIBANCOL), as well as a number of academic, political, ecclesiastical and grass roots organisations and unions from Colombia joined CADTM.

During the Assembly decisions were made and important agreements reached regarding the organisation and mobilisation of countries that are victims of disproportionate illegitimate debt. Some of the most significant of these decisions are the following:

• 1- support and widespread backing of organisations and movements campaigning for a Citizens’ Audit of the public debt, or for citizens’ supervisory committees of budgets and public assets
• 2- to encourage and promote women’s participation in popular organisational processes, and to raise organisations’ awareness of gender equity Equity The capital put into an enterprise by the shareholders. Not to be confused with ’hard capital’ or ’unsecured debt’. and parity within executive bodies.
