Overshadowed by rows over Nigeria and Lockerbie, the Commonwealth’ s attempts to refocus on trade and investment—the main theme of the Edinburgh heads of government meeting—attracted little attention and even less praise.
Hopes were high that the summit’ s economic statement would be of similar weight to the Harare Declaration, issued in 1991 to map out a political agenda for the ex-colonial club after the end of its preoccupation with the struggle against separateness. But the publication of the statement did little to divert attention from rows over the trial of two Lockerbie bomb suspects and over the decision by the Commonwealth Ministerial Action Group(CMag)not to impose new sanctions against Nigeria. CMag chose to ignore calls for Nigeria’ s expulsion and the imposition of an oil embargo. They concluded that the situation would be reassessed if General Sani Abacha failed to honor his promise to hold fully democratic elections next October.
The Prime Minister, Tony Blair, was delighted with the six-page document, entitled Promoting Shared Prosperity. "It signals the end of ideology and reflects basic principles of economic and social justice," Downing Street said. "It would have been unthinkable only a short time ago. " But the declaration produced few surprises and many boring repetitions of statements based on affirmation of free market principles in the global economy.
It was never going to be easy to bridge gaps between the Commonwealth’ s 54 members, which include both wealthy countries, such as Britain, and some of the world’ s poorest, such as Bangladesh. So Edinburgh stayed on safe ground, establishing four key principles; 1)The world economy should be geared towards promoting universal growth and prosperity for all; 2)There must be effective participation by all countries in economic decision-making; 3)The removal of obstacles that prevent developing countries from playing a full part in shaping the global economy; 4)International regimes affecting economic relations among nations should provide benefits for all.
Caribbean members insisted on a reference to their troubles over banana exports threatened by a new World Trade Organization ruling, and won recognition of their "legitimate interests" and the need for help to diversify their economies.
Practical measures included a decision to establish a Commonwealth Trade and Investment Access Facility to help developing countries take advantage of globalization.
One additional source of revenue was opened up with the creation of a new fund for development in South Asian member countries.
The Worldwide Fund for Nature said the Commonwealth had not matched its rhetoric about the dangers of globalisation by failing to promise higher-quality investment, protection for the environment and labour rights.
