“I think there is a connection between the way we treat animals and the way we treat people who are at the bottom of the hierarchy.”

– Angela Davis

The Havana Congress on the New International Economic Order (NIEO), organised by the Progressive International, closed this weekend with delegates agreeing on a declaration and a commitment to advance the New International Economic Order through “securing science and technology sovereignty” for the Global South, as Cuba announces a G77 meeting on the issue later in the year. The Congress brought together over 50 delegates – scholars, diplomats, parliamentarians, and policymakers – from 26 countries across all six inhabited continents. This is their final declaration.
