05/14/2004: "Guess where this comes from"


OK, folks, here's a tough one. A special prize awaits the individual who can guess where this comes from:

We are gathered here in Accra, Ghana from all parts of the world; from Africa, Asia and the Middle East, from Europe and from North America, Latin America and the Caribbean. We have come to renew, reaffirm and strengthen our mission in the midst of people in struggle as URM networks. This comes at a time where institutionalised oppression, systematic violence, occupation and militarization, marginalization, and socio-economic deprivation and exclusion present new challenges to humanity. We note with deep concern processes of illegal occupation and oppression of sovereign lands and peoples under the guise of the ‘war on terror’, citing especially the situation in the Middle East. We are concerned that policies of hegemony, unilateralism, and neo-colonialism, along with their economic capitalist dimensions, are devastating and fragmenting many parts of the world.

Leave your guesses in the comments column, and I'll let you know as soon as the right answer turns up.

A reference to "US hegemony, unilateralism and neo-colonialism" comes from the May 2004 "India Seminar" web site, http://www.india-seminar.com/2003/529/529%20the%20problem.htm.

Close?

That's a good guess, but incorrect. Feel free to try again. :-)

It seems to obvious, but it sounds like the World Council of Churches to me.

As Marty Feldman said in "Young Frankenstein," "On the nosey!" You win a free mention in my next post! (You were expecting maybe a free trip to Tahiti?)

Not sure Tahiti is my cup of tea. I'd say I'm more of the Caribbean type as opposed to the South Pacific. Thanks anyway.
