Havens that have become a tax on the world's poor

Guardian Unlimited Money | News | : "This month the Tax Justice Network, which was formed last year by tax experts and economists worried about the trend, launched an international secretariat in London. It will work with the UN and other international bodies to reverse the practice of hiding money from governments worldwide."

Tax justice network? Never heard of 'em but what a good idea -especially when you see how much money is involved and realise what could be done with it. Kleptocracy calls for an international response, surely?
If you are concerned about international development you need to read this article.
