Debts cancellations : Illegitimacy, Odiousness and audits.
The debt burden of southern countries is still a tool for the rich world to control the poor world. "Debt cancellation" from the G8 have failed. However, Norway unilaterally canceled some the unjust debt owed to it by developing countries and Ecuador is now auditing its debts. Activists across Europe need to build on these initiatives if we are to eradicate the injustice of debt once and for all.
