IAWM BULLETIN 11 JUNE 2013
1. ANTI G8 EVENTS THIS COMING WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK
The G8 are the leaders of the eight richest countries on earth – the USA, Germany, Britain, France, Japan, Canada, Italy, and Russia. This year the G8 summit will take place near Enniskillen on 17 and 18 June.
They will gather to co-ordinate policies for defending privilege and reviewing how best to compete for control of the world’s natural resources. The policies of the G8 and its associates result in horrific inequality around the world. They are also highly connected with the corporate military industrial complex and international arms trade that result in so many devastating wars.
Various organizations have organized a series of counter G8 events as detailed below that IAWM members and supporters may be interested in.
