Press Release: The Consequences of Afghanistan’s Full Membership in the World Trade Organization

The Consequences of Afghanistan’s Full Membership in the World Trade Organization

(Translated)

Afghanistan will never succeed to attain the true-life growth and economical welfare after its full membership in the World Trade Organization (WTO). Because membership in this organization with the aim of opening doors for home business, internal industries, underground resources and other economical sources are only on the hands of giant-economic countries. WTO will actualize its objectives by ordaining rules, laws, principles, standards and various strategies in economical and juridical institutions which in fact ties hands and feet of a country – especially a needy country such as Afghanistan – that strongly which can never establish dominant economical, industrial and real status. However, super-power countries by ordaining such laws, under the pretext of inability of Afghanistan in competing economically and industrially against regional and global countries; will push the resources and industries of Afghanistan under pressure of their business and will prevent its real industries, products and technology development.

On the other hand, Ashraf Ghani’s Democratic Government by contracting such absurd treaties and highlighting them as achievements, attempts to conceal its continual economic failures within a past year. Because the level of unemployment, poverty, fleeing from country, people’s disappointment and hopelessness have been increasing day by day. It needs to be clarified that contracting this treaty will be alike the BSA (Bilateral Security Agreement) which was contracted by Afghanistan and America and truly brought insecurity instead of security all over Afghanistan. So the membership of Afghanistan in this organization, strategically will not be on Afghanistan’s benefit and in fact is considered a fictitious solution. Hizb ut Tahrir – Wilayah Afghanistan will be discussing this issue through available tracts thoroughly.
