Gatt.org press release

Gatt.org press


  The World Trade Organization
  On November 20, 1999, ®TMark published Gatt.org, a website describing the WTO's plans for the November 30 Seattle meeting and questioning the tenets of free trade and globalization.

On November 23, 1999, the WTO issued a press release condemning Gatt.org. The day after the November 30 meeting and protests, ®TMark responded with its own, which obtained a fair amount of press.

Strangely and ludicrously, more space on the WTO website was devoted to Gatt.org than to the physical protests themselves, or to the protesters' concerns. Fortunately, the mainstream press did not follow suit.
