India will rally like-minded developing countries to press for changes in the World Trade Organisation (WTO)'s draft declaration readied for next month's ministerial conference in Doha, Qatar...''The draft confirms that WTO is an asymmetric body, biased in favour of the North against the South, with rules written to protect the interests of corporations and extinguish the rights of people.'' said Vanadana Shiva, director of the India-based, Research Foundation for Science, Ecology and Technology...While developing countries have demanded that the Convention on Biodiversity take precedence over TRIPS wherever conflicts arose between the WTO and multilateral environment agreements, the draft favours TRIPS as the guide for work on indigenous knowledge and biodiversity.
