Points for international campaigning on regional autonomy

• Lobby IMF on the detrimental effects of economic recovery strategy; on the need for an open debate on including issues like debt cancellation etc; to enable regional autonomy (and democratic government at all) to have a chance; argue against the over-reliance on foreign investment and commercial exploitation of natural resources.

• Monitor foreign investment and apply pressure to curb abuse of power, human rights and environment by foreign-financed projects.

• Support efforts to promote democracy at local level.

• Support strengthening of peoples movements at local and national level;

• Support rural and indigenous people's demands for control over land and resources.
