It seems like the anti-globalization movement has been forgotten in the weeks since the September 11 attacks. We'd like to remind our readers that the World Trade Organization will be meeting in Qatar, from Nov 9 to Nov 13. Mike Moore, director of the WTO has warned that the organization could "become irrelevant" if member nations can't decide on a direction for the organization at this meeting. The WTO chose Qatar to avoid protests similar to those seen in Seattle, Prague and Genoa, however, the meeting is now shadowed by the fear of muslim extremists -- many members of the US deligation have pulled out. Follow the Independent Media Center for breaking news. The WTO has issued the following warning:
A fake WTO website - http://www.gatt.org - has been created to deceive Internet users by copying the entire official WTO website. While the design is identical, the texts have been distorted. The fake site also uses the email address enquiries@gatt.org
The use of WTO designs, logos and materials is strictly unauthorized. Worse, some pages on the fake website could cause unsuspecting visitors to reveal their email addresses and other information to the site's operators. The fake site could also be picked up by search engines, a nuisance for serious users looking for genuine information.
The only official WTO site is www.wto.org.
