What is the Berne Declaration?

We are a Swiss non-governmental organization with more than 20,000 members. We have been promoting more equitable, sustainable and democratic North-South relations since 1968. To this end, we carry out research, run campaigns to raise public awareness of different issues and do advocacy work.

What areas are we involved in?

The Berne Declaration is currently working on the following issues:

International trade International financial relations World Economic Forum in Davos/ Public Eye Awards Agriculture Private Finance Clean Clothes Campaign Health Commodities

Where can I get further information, e.g. publications?

You'll find the most important information in German and/ or French on our website. For our yearly WEF-critical main event, «The Public Eye Awards», we also run an English website.

Some departments publish expert studies in English, mostly as PDFs online. Once a year we publish an English report with information about our activities during the year.
