Civil society voices including @InescOficial and @amwaafrika reminded delegates: taxing the ultra-rich and tackling illicit flows is key to justice. The delegate from 🇬🇭 Ghana also reminded everyone of the Committee’s mandate. Talks continue tomorrow: watch this space!

While we didn't get all that's needed, the fact that the global South had a voice here on systemic economic issues mattered, so together we continue to #hope for a better future.
