Glasgow life
University of Glasgow, University Avenue, Sat 2 Mar

...narh;i‘2f3"q£"-
After being set tip in 1951 by Harold Wilson. War On Want has continued to fight for international justice and campaign against poverty. exploitation and oppression. This year's conference is titled ‘New World Order?’ and will be looking at global poverty after t I September from the root causes of the attacks
to the effects they have had on the world.
To highlight these changes and challenges. it has enlisted the help of several top notch speakers including peace activist Bruce Kent; Alexander Lopez. who is the preSident of SINTRAEMCALI Union Colombia; Afif Safieh. Palestinian Authority Representative: Bill Speirs. general secretary of the STUC and Claudia Blanco of the Nicaraguan Rural Women's Association.
The day will begin with speeches on the question of the new world order while the rest of the day will be hands-on with workshops on a wide range of topics from Palestine after i I September. Colombia and the betrayal of Western Sahara to War On Want in Scotland and the Tobin Tax. The afternoon continues with more heated debate in an International Question Time session with questions being fired at a panel of representatives from Labour. SNP. Lib Dem. STUC and
the Green Party.
War On Want is not afraid to take risks and can be controverSial so this conference is an ideal opportunity to share ‘yOur views and challenge the people
who make the decisions. (Jane Hamilton)
