Abstract: Abstract The Pearson Commission recommended, in 1969 already (Pearson et al., 1969), that industrialised donor countries make available for official development assistance (ODA) 0.7 per cent of gross national product (GNP). None of the large or middle-sized industrialised countries (whose experts were members of the Pearson Commission) followed this advice. In 1980 the Brandt Commission, in its first (Brandt et al., 1980), and in 1983 in its second report (Brandt et al., 1983) had to repeat the Pearson suggestion: a sad confirmation of the lack of interest of the industrialised nations. One of the consequences is that we are now facing, among many other problems, an enormous ‘debt problem’.
