Clare Short, Pascal Lamy, and Mike Moore listening to WTO opponents, Seattle, November 29, 1999
Order an ImageThe Third Ministerial Conference of the World Trade Organization (WTO) was held in Seattle from November 30 to December 3, 1999. Trade ministers and other officials from the WTO's 135 member nations met in an unsuccessful attempt to plan negotiations to further deregulate free trade. Tens of thousands of activists for many causes gathered to protest what they saw as the WTO's favoring of corporate interests over social and environmental concerns.
On November 29, members of the WTO held a special session to listen to opponents' complaints. Here, left to right, Clare Short, Britain's trade-development minister, Commissioner Pascal Lamy, and Mike Moore, WTO director-general, listen to their critics.
