During the Week of Global Action against Debt and the IFIs, October 12 to 19, 2008, we try to advance these calls and demands:
Freedom from debt domination, build food sovereignty, and secure climate justice. 

1. Cancel or stop payment on all illegitimate debt. 

2. End the use of loans and debt relief to impose conditionalities. 

3. Stop financing projects and policies that contribute to hunger and climate change. 

4. Conduct comprehensive and participatory debt audits to help establish who owes whom. 

5. Provide restitution and reparations for the ecological and historical debts owed to the South, including the return of stolen assets kept in banks in the G8 and  other Northern countries. 

6. Respect and fulfill the right and obligation of all countries and peoples to reverse the harmful policies that have led to the debt, food, and climate crises, such as Structural Adjustment Programs, unjust Trade Agreements, Economic Partnership Agreements, Investment Protection Treaties, and Infrastructure Integration Initiatives. 

7. Respect the rights of migrants and others who are displaced as a consequence of the debt, food and climate crises.
