PSI does not accept such a blatant violation of well-established international norms and calls on the President of Argentina and the WTO Director-General to take immediate action.
PSI has written letters to President of Argentina Mauricio Macri, calling on the Argentinian government to reverse the bans immediately, and to WTO Director-General Roberto Azevêdo, calling on him and the WTO membership not to hold the Ministerial in Argentina, unless the participation of the civil society groups is re-instated.
The two letters are available here:
