The Committee for the Cancellation of the Third World Debt(the CADTM-Comité pour l'annulation de la dette du Tiers Monde) is an international network of individuals and local committees from across Europe and Latin America, Africa and Asia. It was founded in Belgium in March 1990. The network acts in close liaison with other movements and organisations fighting for the same ideals. Its main preoccupation, besides the debt issue, is the planning of activities and radical alternatives for the creation of a world respectful of people's fundamental rights, needs and liberties. 1, record 1, English, - Committee%20for%20the%20Cancellation%20of%20the%20Third%20World%20Debt
