The Tax Justice Network Africa (TJNA) applauds the Africa Group at the United Nations for tabling the draft resolution on the ‘Promotion of inclusive and effective international tax cooperation’ at the 78th Session of the Second Committee at the United Nations General Assembly. In response to the Secretary General’s Report, the draft resolution makes a clear recommendation on the need to pursue a comprehensive UN Convention on Tax.
This resolution is rooted in the longstanding calls by Global South countries for a UN intergovernmental tax body and represents a significant stride towards democratising the global tax system. It marks a historic moment to correct the imbalances that currently exist in the global financial architecture.
