After four sessions of (sometimes heated) discussions, the #UNtaxConvention negotiations are now entering crunch time. We've just submitted to the UN our written input as a negotiations stakeholder. Here's a summary of what we submitted. taxjustice.net/2026/04/03/u...

Divided, the Global South cannot influence the #UNTaxConvention.
#ICRICT's José Antonio Ocampo & Verónica Grondona participated in discussions on building coordinated positions ahead of the August UN.org session.
🤝 Bridging #PTLAC, the #AfricanUnion & #Asia is the strategy.
#TaxThePower

Tax rules shape whether States can raise and mobilise sufficient public resources to fulfil human rights. 🌍 Ahead of the next phase of negotiations on the #UNTaxConvention, we contributed to three civil society submissions to Workstream I:

Allons-y, les Belges et nous tous! Merci, @antoinettevanhaute.bsky.social et @cncd.be #untaxconvention #unitarytaxation #taxtherich #taxjustice #socialjustice

Un nouveau traité international, négocié aux Nations Unies, pourrait permettre de taxer efficacement multinationales et ultra-riches, récupérant des milliards pour les hôpitaux, les écoles et la transition écologique.

#EraOfJustice #UNtaxConvention

Zur Kasse bitte Milliardäre werden immer reicher, Staaten immer ärmer: Kann eine UN-Steuerreform die globale Ungleichheit endlich bremsen?

Zur Kasse bitte: Gelingt der UN der Durchbruch bei der #UNTaxConvention

Während die UN derzeit verhandelt, bremsen Europa + Deutschland.

Finden Regierungen den Mut zu echten Reformen oder entsteht nur ein weiteres Abkommen, das wenig verändert?

Rising Investor-State Tax Arbitration Cases Threaten Fiscal Sovereignty: Here’s what the UN Tax Convention can do Tax disputes are increasingly being brought before investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) tribunals, undermining fiscal sovereignty and exposing governments to significant financial liabilities. The...

🌍 The Protocol on tax disputes as part of the #UNTaxConvention offers a rare opportunity to ensure cross-border tax disputes are resolved through tax-specific, state-to-state mechanisms–and to prevent tax cases from being brought to #ISDS.

Each year, illicit financial flows divert vast public resources away from classrooms, hospitals and climate action, shrinking the fiscal space countries need to serve their people. Following ECOSOC’s first-ever Special Meeting on Financial Integrity last month, Nobel Laureate in Economics Joseph Stiglitz reflected on why financial integrity matters now and who is most affected when global rules fall short. The meeting, a concrete outcome of the Sevilla Commitment adopted last June at the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development, brought together leading institutions across tax cooperation, anti-money-laundering and anti-corruption to strengthen coordination. Their discussion focused on how to get and use information to tackle tax abuses and financial crimes. And ultimately, considered how global financial rules can deliver fairer and more sustainable outcomes for all.

"Financial integrity is not a technical issue to be postponed. It is a precondition for addressing the defining challenges of our age" - @josephestiglitz.bsky.social to
UN.org DESA on why the world need a #UNTaxConvention.

💬 At the #UNTaxConvention negotiations, Alexandra Readhead stressed that national tax administrations must lead on tax disputes. ISDS should not handle more tax cases: the Protocol must deliver a tax-specific approach to dispute prevention and resolution.
