We, the undersigned organizations, express our full support for the International Monsanto Tribunal in The Hague scheduled on 14-16 October 2016. We salute and support the tribunal’s steering committee and organizing committee in this most important effort. We view this tribunal as a culmination of the efforts of the farmers, fisherfolks, small food producers, and peoples of the world in exposing and opposing the devil that is Monsanto. Monsanto, the giant US-based biotechnology corporation, has through the decades committed grave crimes against the farmers, fisherfolks, small food producers, and peoples of the world by producing highly-toxic products and promoting a profit-crazed and highly-destructive agro-industrial model. It is the face of monopoly-capitalist corporations that have been advancing a corporate takeover of the food chain and depriving various countries of food sovereignty. It has been denying peoples and their communities of the power to assert and realize the fundamental right to food and to produce food. Monsanto has contributed to the worsening hunger, poverty, exploitation and debt peonage among small farmers, fisherfolks, food producers. It has contributed to attacks on the right to food of the said groups and of all peoples of the world. It in no small measure has contributed to the destruction of the environment and the deterioration of the health of numerous persons. It is in the interest of the farmers and peoples of the world that Monsanto’s grave crimes will be consolidated and amplified through the tribunal. We are calling on all grassroots groups of small food producers, especially farmer organizations and their support NGOs, to speak out on the impacts of Monsanto in their communities and countries. Let us educate our ranks and the public on these through various forms of forums and symposiums. Let us hold different forms of action condemning Monsanto and its crimes. Onward to the International Monsanto Tribunal! ========================= *Estimados miembros y amigos PCFS , ¡Saludos!

Apoyamos al comité de dirección del tribunal y al comité de organización en este importante esfuerzo. Monsanto, la empresa gigante de biotecnología en EstadosUnidos, kpor décadas a cometido delitos graves contra los agricultores, pescadores, pequeños productores de alimentos, y los pueblos del mundo. Es el rostro de las corporaciones monopolistas-capitalistas que han avanzado en el control corporativo de la cadena alimentaria, privando a varios países de su soberanía alimentaria. Se ha estado negando a los pueblos y sus comunidades de la facultad de hacer valer y hacer realidad el derecho fundamental a la alimentación ya la producción de alimentos. Monsanto ha contribuido al empeoramiento del hambre, la pobreza, la explotación y la servidumbre por deudas entre los pequeños, pescadores, productores de alimentos. Ha contribuido a los ataques contra el derecho a la alimentación de dichos grupos y de todos los pueblos del mundo. Que en gran medida ha contribuido a la destrucción del medio ambiente y el deterioro de la salud de numerosas personas. Es de interés de los agricultores y de los pueblos del mundo que los delitos graves de Monsanto se amplifiquen a través del tribunal. Hacemos un llamado a todas las organizaciones de base de pequeños productores de alimentos, especialmente las organizaciones de agricultores y sus ONG de apoyo, de hablar sobre los impactos de Monsanto en sus comunidades y países. Eduquemos a nuestras filas y al public sobre estos a través de diversas formas de foros y simposios. Mantengamos diferentes formas de acción que condena a Monsanto y sus crímenes. !adelante al Tribunal Internacional contra la Monsanto! *Signatories/Firmantes: * People's Coalition on Food Sovereignty (PCFS) International Indigenous Peoples Movement for Self-Determination and Liberation (IPMSDL) Roots for Equity Arab Network for Food Sovereignty (ANFS) Arab Group for the Protection of Nature (APN) Smallholder Farmers Association of Kenya (SFAKen) Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas (KMP) Asian Peasant Coalition (APC) National Federation of Agricultural Sector (NFAS) SFBLSP_Burundi “Association des droits de la femme” Pakistan Kissan Mazdoor Tehreek (PKMT) Unyon ng mga Manggagawa sa Agrikultura (UMA) Fahamu Africa Tanzania Organization for Agricultural Development (TOfAD) Cordillera People s Alliance (CPA) Ponlok Khmer PAN Asia and the Pacific All Nepal Peasants’ Federation (ANPFa) IBON International Grupo de Trabajo Cambio Climático y Justicia (GTCCJ-Bolivia) Institute for National and Democratic Studies (INDIES) Ogoni Solidarity Forum-Nigeria (OSF) l'Africaine de recherche et de coopération pour l'appui au développement endogène (ARCADE) Center for Environmental Concerns-Philippines Zabarang Kalyan Samity Kalipunan ng mga Katutubong Mamamayan ng Pilipinas (KATRIBU) Indigenous Peoples Rights Active Member (IRAM) Highlander Association(HA) Cambodia Indigenous Peoples Organization (CIPO) Organization the Promotion of the Kui Culture (OPKC) Kirat Youth Society (KYS) Kirat Chamling Language Culture Development Association (KCLCDA) People Unity Youth Society (PUYS) Unity Society Nepal Active Society Nepal Youth Awareness Society Nepal (YASN) Indigenous Nationalities Women Youth Network (INWYN) Kirat Chamling Association (KCA) Kirat Chamling Youth Society (KCYS) Youth NGO-Federation (YNF) Indigenous Nationalities Women Network, Makawanpur (INWN) Chundevi Society Nepal Kirat Chamling Khambatim NGO-Federation of Nepalese Indigenous Nationalities (NGO-FONIN) Participatory Research Action Network - PRAN Food Security Network (Khani), Bangladesh Asociacion *Qachuu Aloom*, (Madre Tierra) Rabinal, Baja Verapaz Asociacion Raxch' och' Oxlaju Aj (Tierra Verde 13 Aj) *AROAJ*.
