Attention : courriel externe | external email Dear friends,

Sorry for the last minute nature of this. Hoping you may be interested in joining us in endorsing a public statement about the 2020 G20 year (being hosted in Saudi Arabia). Below you will find a public statement from Transparency International, Civicus and Amnesty International explaining why we are not engaging with the G20’s Civil Society Process this year. I am sending this to you to see if your organizations would like to sign up to the Statement, if you have not already done so. The Statement is available in English, Arabic French and Spanish:
