Critics point to the EU and UK for supposedly undermining Ghana's, Nigeria's, and other countries' tax influence

Attempts to "kill" policies intended to give developing countries like Nigeria, Ghana, Brazil, India, and others a larger voice in international tax negotiations have been leveled against European Union and British diplomats.According to a report published by the Nigerian news platform Nairametrics, low- and middle-income countries are lobbying for this shift as countries are negotiating at the UN to strengthen the UN's influence in international tax talks.According to a Financial Times report, a coalition of 54 African countries who were not happy with the OECD process managed to get a resolution introduced before the UN General Assembly last year.This stated that the UN secretary-general should submit a report with suggestions for boosting the UN's capacity to enhance the "inclusiveness and effectiveness" of international tax cooperation.
