“No War! No WTO! Fight for people’s health!”

세계보건포럼에서 만났던 보건관련 단체들로부터 아래와 같은 메일이 왔습니다. 보건의료단체연합도 아래 캠페인에 함께 하겠다는 담메일을 보냈습니다. 백남순 샘 참고해 주세요.

3월 20일 반전 행동의 날과 같은 날에 벌일 캠페인에 관한 연대 요청입니다.
아래는 그 번역입니다.
————————-

다음의 “No War! No WTO! Fight for people’s health!” 라는 슬로건 아래 진행될 민중의 건강을 지키기 위한 중요한 캠페인에 관한 내용을 확인하시기 바랍니다.

이 캠페인은 필리핀 마닐라에서 작년 11월 열린 한 국제 회의에서 처음 구상되었고, 이미 세 개의 주요 국제 단체 (the People’s Health Movement (PHM), the International People’s Health Council, and the International League for People’s Struggle (ILPS))의 참가가 결정되었습니다.
이 캠페인은 지난달 인도 뭄바이의 WSF에서 제안되었는데, 이 캠페인의 세계적인 출범은 3월 20일에 있을 미군 주둔과 전쟁 반대의 날과 겹치게 될 것 같습니다.

이 캠페인의 성공은 풀뿌리 단체와 활동가들의 참여 정도에 달려 있습니다. 이 캠페인은 개념의 폭이 넓어서 귀 단체와 같은 단체들의 활동을 지구적 캠페인에 접목할 수 있게 합니다. 우리는 참가자들이 캠페인 개념에 대해 인준하고, Health and Occupation Watch나 서명운동과 같은 공통된 활동을 하고, 그 활동 결과를 전체 캠페인 website에 올리기를 바랍니다. 참여하는 단체들은 로고, 전단, 소책자 등의 캠페인물 등을 사용할 수 있으며, 캠페인 웹사이트를 통해 활동 보고서를 작성하고 사진을 올릴 수 있습니다.
우리는 당신이 당신 단체, 혹은 개인적인 참여를 3월 1일 이전까지 알려주시기를 바랍니다.
더 자세한 정보를 위해서는 답장을 주십시오.

국제 캠페인

NO War! NO WTO! Fight for People’s Health
(Health NOW!)

1. 캠페인의 제목은 “NO War, NO WTO, Fight for People’s Health!” 혹은 줄여서 “Health NOW!” 입니다.

2. 이 캠페인은 People’s Health Movement, International People’s Health Council, 그리고 International League of People’s Struggle-Ad Hoc Health Commission 세 단체 공동으로 준비하는 것입니다. 이 캠페인은 이 세 네트워크의 지역, 국가, 지방의 지회에 의해 다양한 방법으로 적용 될 수 있다. 제목과 구호는 다른 언어로 번역될 수 있다.

3. 현재까지, 위의 세 네트워크 이외에 다음의 기구들이 참여하기로 했다:
intal/Medical Aid for the Third World, Artsen voor Vrede (Belgium), the Council for Health and Development (the Philippines), the Hesperian Foundation (USA), the Health Work Committees (Palestine) and the Union of Palestinian Medical Relief Committees (Palestine).

4. 이 캠페인은 준비 위원회(Coordinating Committee (CoCo))에 의해 준비되고 있다. 현재의 위원들은 다음과 같으며, 지원자도 참여 가능하다: Maria (IPHC, Nicaragua), Leni (CHD-IPHC Philippines), Unni (PHM ‘working circle on wars, disasters, conflicts and humanitarian action), Bert (intal, Belgium), Delen (PHM-Philippines), Wim (intal, Belgium), Hillel (IAC, US), Kamal (HWC, Palestine), Allam (UPMRC, Palestine),
CoCo 멤버들간에는 그룹 이메일이 짜일 것이다. 매일매일의 조정과 사무는 intal, Belgium에 의해 전달될 것이다.

5. 이 캠페인은 2004년 1월 14-20일, 뭄바이의 세계 보건포럼과 세계사회포럼, 그리고 Mumbai Resistance 2004에서 제안되었다.

6. 이 캠페인의 근거는 2003년 11월 마닐라에서 열린 회의의 성명서(Manila conference on Challenges in Health Work amidst Imperialist Globalization and War’s unity statement)에 기반한다:
“ As health workers and health advocates, we are witness to the fact that unhampered economic globalization causes increasing poverty, while US-led wars of aggression maim and massacre millions of people and destroy social infrastructure and our planet Earth itself.
We therefore call on the peoples of the world to junk the World Trade Organization and regional trade agreements with a similar character. Key WTO agreements such as the Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) and the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) promote the commercialization of health care and deprive the people of much needed basic health services.
We call on the peoples of the world to oppose US-led wars of aggression. Being launched in the guise of “wars on terrorism”, they are actually waged to strengthen the continued bid by the US for world hegemony.
The roots of poverty and ill health lie in the exploitative nature of the world capitalist system with its grossly inequitable distribution of wealth and resources. This global system is dependent on military power for continuing control, thus making the world more dangerous and filled with unspeakable suffering and death.
Let us work together towards a just and humane society that guarantees the people’s right to health. Let us add our strength to the broad people’s movement opposing imperialist globalization and US-led wars of aggression.”

7. 이 캠페인은 로고를 사용할 것이다. 현재 제출된 로고의 초안은 좀 더 전투적으로 보이도록 손질될 것이다. 이 로고는 지역의 캠페인에 사용하기 좋게 차용, 조정될 수 있다.

8. 이 캠페인에 website ( www.health-now.org.)를 만들 예정이다.
이 웹사이트는 참여하는 기구들이 글을 게시할 수 있도록 고안될 것이다. 웹사이트는 여러 언어 사용이 가능할 것이다.

9. 이 캠페인은 3월 20일, 미국이 이라크를 침공한 1주년이 되는 날이자, 국제 반전 행동의 날에 시작될 것이다.
이날, 참가하는 단체들은 세계적인 반전 운동 속에서 그 존재를 나타내도록 한다.
같은 날 웹사이트도 열리게 될 것이다. 지역 기자회견을 가질 수도 있다.

10. 이 캠페인은 Health & Occupation Watch (Health NOW)를 구성해서 전쟁, 주둔, 군사화, 군사 작전 등이 건강에 미치는 영향 등에 관해 감시한다.
1기(1-3월) 활동: 기존의 자료를 정리, 웹사이트에 모음, 게시 글을 모니터해서 Watch의 주된 아이템을 선정.
2기(4월부터):  Health NOW Action Alert가 이메일을 통해 생산, 나누어질 수 있을 것이다.
3기(7-12월): 분쟁 지역의 전쟁과 건강에 관련한 주제로 관찰, 보고할 것을 제안한다. (7월에 팔레스타인, 12월에 이라크?)

11. 이 캠페인은 WTO가 보건에 미친 영향에 관한 교육자료와 홍보자료를 배포할 것이다. 예를 들면, GATS와 관련된 보건 서비스의 사유화 반대, 필수 의약품에의 접근성 제한과 TRIPS를 통한 고가약 문제 등이 있다.

12. 이 캠페인은 다음의 인터넷 탄원서 서명운동을 한다. 아울러 인쇄된 용지를 통한 서명운동도 준비한다.
우리는 국가 혹의 국제기구 당국에 제기하는 다음의 요구들의 실현을 위해 투쟁한다.
1. 팔레스타인, 이라크, 아프가니스탄의 점령을 중지하라. 모든 외국 병력을 즉각적으로 철수하라. 해외의 군사 작전이나 점령에 어떤 형태의 지원도 하지 말라.

2. WTO는 보건 분야에서 나가라. TRIPS와 GATS는 내다버려라. 농업 협정과 지역 무역 협정을 포함한, 인류의 건강을 위협하는 모든 무역 협정을 거부한다.
3. 전쟁 대신 보건이다. 군대와 무기 개발 및 생산에 들어가는 예산을 줄여라. 보건을 포함한 사회 서비스에 대한 공공 지출을 증가시켜라.

시험삼아, 이 탄원서는 약 1년 간 모을 것이다. 그 결과는 2005년 7월 예정된 2회 People’s Health Assembly에서 발표될 것이다. 중간 집계는 전쟁, 점령, 그리고 WTO에 반대하는 등의 주요한 운동이 있을 때 발표될 수도 있다.

Dear Kim, Joo-Yeon,

Please find below a short concept paper for an important campaign in defense of the people뭩 health under the slogan 밡o War! No WTO! Fight for people뭩 health!? This campaign was first conceptualized during an international conference last November in Manila, Philippines and has already been adopted by three major international networks:the People뭩 Health Movement (PHM), the International People뭩 Health Council, and the International League for People뭩 Struggle (ILPS) ?ad hoc health commission. The campaign was presented to the public during the World Social Forum in Mumbai, India last month but the campaign뭩 worldwide public launch will coincide with the March 20 global day of protest against US occupation and war.

The succes of the campaign depends on the participation of grassroots organizations and activists. The loose concept of the campaign enables individuals and groups like yours to integrate their activities into a global campaign network. We expect participants to register their approval of the campaign concept, promote the common campaign activities like the Health & Occupation Watch and the signature campaign, and post reports about their activities on the central campaign website. Participating organizations will have the possibility to use campaign materials like logo뭩, fliers, brochures etc. and can make use of the campaign website to publish reports and pictures about their campaign related activities.

We hope that you can commit the participation of your organization or individual support before March 1. Please feel free to contact me for further information.

In solidarity,

For the coordinating committee,

Wim De Ceukelaire

International Campaign

NO War! NO WTO!
Fight for People’s Health
(Health NOW!)

1.The title of the campaign is “NO War, NO WTO, Fight for People’s Health!” or “Health NOW!” for short.

2.It is a joint campaign of the People’s Health Movement, the International People’s Health Council and the International League of People’s Struggle-Ad Hoc Health Commission. The campaign may be taken up and adapted, in a flexible way, by regional, national or local affiliates of these three networks. The title and slogans of the campaign may be adapted in other languages.

3.As of now, the following organisations participate (aside from the three networks mentioned): intal/Medical Aid for the Third World, Artsen voor Vrede (Belgium), the Council for Health and Development (the Philippines), the Hesperian Foundation (USA), the Health Work Committees (Palestine) and the Union of Palestinian Medical Relief Committees (Palestine).

4.The campaign is coordinated by a Coordinating Committee (CoCo). As of now, it is composed of Maria (IPHC, Nicaragua), Leni (CHD-IPHC Philippines), Unni (PHM ‘working circle on wars, disasters, conflicts and humanitarian action), Bert (intal, Belgium), Delen (PHM-Philippines), Wim (intal, Belgium), Hillel (IAC, US), Kamal (HWC, Palestine), Allam (UPMRC, Palestine) and others who may volunteer. Among the CoCo members an e-mail group (yahoo) will be set up. The day-to-day coordination and secretarial work will be provisionally taken up by intal, Belgium.

5.The campaign was first presented and promoted in Mumbai, at the International Forum for the Defense of People’s Health, at the World Social Forum itself (during PHM seminars) and at the Mumbai Resistance 2004, on January 14-20, 2004.

6.The basis for this campaign is an abridged version of the November 2003 Manila conference on Challenges in Health Work amidst Imperialist Globalization and War’s unity statement:
As health workers and health advocates, we are witness to the fact that unhampered economic globalization causes increasing poverty, while US-led wars of aggression maim and massacre millions of people and destroy social infrastructure and our planet Earth itself.
We therefore call on the peoples of the world to junk the World Trade Organization and regional trade agreements with a similar character. Key WTO agreements such as the Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) and the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) promote the commercialization of health care and deprive the people of much needed basic health services.
We call on the peoples of the world to oppose US-led wars of aggression. Being launched in the guise of “wars on terrorism”, they are actually waged to strengthen the continued bid by the US for world hegemony.
The roots of poverty and ill health lie in the exploitative nature of the world capitalist system with its grossly inequitable distribution of wealth and resources. This global system is dependent on military power for continuing control, thus making the world more dangerous and filled with unspeakable suffering and death.
Let us work together towards a just and humane society that guarantees the people’s right to health. Let us add our strength to the broad people’s movement opposing imperialist globalization and US-led wars of aggression.

7.The campaign will have a logo. The draft projects of logo that have been presented will be improved in the sense of making them somewhat more militant. The logo can be adapted and adjusted for local sub-campaigns.

8.The campaign will have a website: www.health-now.org. The website will be designed in such a way that participating organizations will be able to post articles (open publishing). The website will be multi-lingual.

9.The campaign will be launched on March 20, the first anniversary of the war on Iraq and an international day of action against war and occupation. On that day, the participating organizations make their presence felt in the anti-war mobilizations the world over. The same day, the website will be launched. Local press conferences may be held.

10.The campaign sets up a Health & Occupation Watch (Health NOW) on the health effects of war, occupation, militarization, military intervention, etc. In a first phase (Jan.-March), the activities will be: inventarizing existing materials; putting them together on the website; monitoring web publications and selecting the most relevant items for our Watch. In a second phase (starting April), a Health NOW Action Alert by e-mail can be produced and circulated. As a third activity (July-December period), we propose Health NOW missions to monitor and report on war & health issues in an area of conflict (Palestine in July, Iraq in December?).

11.The campaign will disseminate educational and campaign materials on the WTO impositions and effects on health, e.g. against the privatization of health services through the GATS and against the limitation of access to essential drugs and their prohibitive prices through TRIPS.

12.The campaign launches the following internet petition, with the option to also use it in printed version:
We commit ourselves to fight for the realization of the following demands that we address to national and international authorities:
1.Stop the occupation of Palestine, Iraq and Afghanistan. The immediate withdrawal of all foreign troops. No support, in any way, to foreign military intervention and occupation.
2.WTO out of health. Junk TRIPS and GATS. No to all trade agreements that harm the people’s health, including the Agreement on Agriculture and regional trade agreements.
3.Health care, not warfare. Reduce budgets for the military and for weapons development and production. Increase public expenditure on social services, including health care.
Tentatively, this petition will run for about one year. Its results will be presented at the Second People’s Health Assembly, in July 2005. Intermediate results may be presented on the occasion of important mobilizations against war and occupation and against the WTO.
