". The resolution highlights the tragic situation of over 307 million people who are currently living on less than 1 dollar per day. So 900 people are dying of hunger every day in the world. Despite several fair proposals, such as cancelling the debts of the least developed countries (LDCs), which I fully support, I cannot vote in favour of this resolution. The resolution considers that the LDCs have not been capable of making the structural economic reforms that are essential in order for them to cease to be in that category. This is a clear contradiction. It is precisely because these Southern countries, dominated by the imperialist countries of the North, have no other choice than to comply with structural adjustment policies and debt repayments that they are now falling deeper into poverty. The resolution repeatedly extols the virtues of the IMF and World Bank methods and of the laws of the market for bringing LDCs out of poverty. That is actually where we should be looking to find the underlying causes of poverty in those countries."@en1
