Fourth Week for Fiscal Justice and Human Rights
2024 brought many opportunities for the transformation of the international tax system. Therefore, this edition of the Week for Fiscal Justice and Human Rights promoted discussions about the impact of tax policy on human rights at the national and international level and which leverages can trigger to address inequalities. In addition, it gave special attention to regional and global cooperation, represented in the PTLAC and the construction of a UN Tax Convention. To strengthen these efforts, we discussed the experiences or tax reform proposals of the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as a better understanding of the strategies in Africa to promote South-South cooperation. Likewise, we advanced the discussion on wealth taxes from a human rights perspective and how the various national proposals are articulated with international efforts.
This Fourth Week allowed us to develop spaces for collaboration with the broader civil society movement, the Academia, and other relevant institutions.

Together, these organizations seek to develop and promote the Human Rights Principles in Fiscal Policy, a compendium that translates general Human Rights guidelines into more concrete guides that are easy to implement. The initiative is a project focused on Latin America and the Caribbean, organized in an open, collaborative, interdisciplinary and diverse in terms of gender and country-representation.
