Minister and his colleagues have the opportunity to make poverty history by delivering crucial changes on trade justice, debt and aid. Lawrence Gonzi should use his unique position and influence as UN host to:

¤ change the unjust rules of trade, respecting poor countries' rights to decide on trade policies that will help end poverty;

¤ cancel all the debt of all the poorest countries that need it;

¤ deliver at least $50 billion more in aid each year starting now and make it work better for people in poverty.

Along with millions of others around the world, I'll be wearing a white band to remind Dr Gonzi what he must do and will be waiting to see if he delivers.

Now is the time Dr Gonzi. Please do not squander this moment.
