Abstract
The following questions were raised by the FITI project. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to answer all those questions. 1. To what extent are the workings and outcomes of the World Trade Organization (WTO) perceived as fair in your region/continent? 2. What are the main ethical issues regarding international trade and investment (or alternatively the WTO) in your region/continent? 3. What developments are there in your region/continent to address the above ethical issues? Despite those complicated issues, we feel that at least, this mechanism designed to contribute to MDGs might be useful, since it could work on an obligatory-basis. Imposing taxes on individuals not on countries is also a very interesting point. If we take into consideration the fact that even in developed countries there are many poor people, and even in developing countries there are some wealthy people, imposing global taxes on individuals could be rational and practical. With those reasons in mind, we suggest that the global taxation movement might be worth examining further from various perspectives.
