'Until the lions have their historians, says an African proverb, tales of hunting will always glorify the hunter. The same is true of tales about international trade.'  - UNDP HDR, 2005

The Trade Justice Group campaigns to help achieve just and sustainable global trade policies and practices.

The group is made up of volunteer members who have been working for Trade Justice since 1998. The group focuses on raising awareness of how unfair trade rules prevent the poorest countries from finding their way out of poverty. The next meeting of the Trade Justice Group will take place on Tuesday 1st December. Do come along and join the fun!

Unfair trade rules cost developing countries hundreds of billions of euro a year, much more than the total sum of aid from rich countries. Even small increases in a country's export revenues have the power to bring about big changes.

The Trade Group meets on the first and third Tuesday of every month at Comhlámh's Dublin office - 2nd Floor, Ballast House, Aston Quay, Dublin 2

Activities of the Group

Public Education
We organise a range of courses, workshops, public events, and newsletters to raise awareness and train trade-justice activists.
We organise public information campaigns and promote public debate on the structures of unjust trade rules such as the WTO and CAP.
Each autumn the group runs an evening course on Trade and Globalisation. 

Campaign Actions
We ask you to take action for change.
Usually this involves telling others about the issues, writing to politicians and othes who have the power to change unfair trade rules.
We support you in this through our campaign materials and training.

Lobbying
We lobby politicians for change by bringing trade issues to the attention of public representatives at the Irish, EU and World Trade Organisation levels, with a view to changing their policies.

Policy and Research
We carry out research on trade rules; how they are made, and how they affect people in developing countries.
From this research we produce policy papers and briefing documents.

Networking
We network with other organisations and activists working on trade, particularly in Southern countries.
Comhlámh is a member of the Trade Matters network.
