Groups like Jubilee which have worked on ‘Third World Debt’ have
campaigned against illegitimate debt for many years. Debt resulting from
the sales of weapons to some of the late twentieth century’s most

examples of debts which are illegitimate. But, we’re often asked, how do
these types of debts possibly relate to the people of Europe today?
