WTO Ministerial Conference of 1999 protest activity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1383 words) |
 | On November 30, 1999, the World Trade Organization convened in Seattle, Washington, USA, for the WTO Ministerial Conference of 1999 that was to be the launch of a new millennial round of trade negotiations. |
| The conclusion by many in Seattle was that the WTO convention was not worth hosting due to the economic damage caused by the protests. |
| To many in anarchist and radical circles the Seattle WTO riots, protests and demonstrations was a success and is something that is looked on as one of the most recent victories in the U.S. It is perceived as having been a success because talks were delayed. |
