- Alex Cobham of the Tax Justice Network
- Rachel Etter-Phoya of the Tax Justice Network
- The UN Chairperson, UN Secretary and UN representatives of Nigeria, South Africa, the United States, the United Kingdom, Singapore, Liechtenstein, Republic of Korea, and Eritrea.
- Produced and hosted by the Tax Justice Networkâs Naomi Fowler.
âIt was absolutely incredible to watch the proceedings at the UN to see what was like a boxing match where Nigeria, alongside all other countries that have really been cut out of international tax discussions, stood up and said, âthis is the time to change the rules of the gameâ.â ~ Rachel Etter-Phoya
âThe resolution really is a kind of watershed moment. The OECD has lobbied its absolute hardest to try to get this blocked. And yet the resolution in the end went through unanimously by consensus.â ~ Alex Cobham
âWe look forward to taking further steps as urgently as possible. We have only eight years to realise our ambitious 2030 agenda. We will not achieve it unless we step up the pace of our efforts to reshape multilateralism for the 21st century.â ~ UN Representative for Nigeria
