CUTS Launched the Jubilee 2010-2020 Campaign

This movement was launched at the UN Johannesburg Summit on Wednesday 28/08/2002. Inspired by the Jubilee 2000 Campaign that led to debt relief, it was aimed at dismantling trade protectionism in labour intensive goods by the year 2010, and agricultural products by the year 2020. Thus, civil society groups, church groups and trade unions were called upon to harness their energies and sentiments in support of the movement. (Press Release)
