Abstract: Abstract For more than two decades, the United Nations and its agencies have provided a major international forum for the study, debate, and implementation of measures to assist the poorer countries of the world in their development efforts. For example, in 1964 the first session of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) received Raul Prebisch’s report on the requirements of a new trade policy for development.1 A major feature of the report was a call for the establishment of a new international order which would be more responsive to both global needs, and the needs of developing countries. The proposed system contained suggestions which required basic changes in the framework of trade and finance, as well as other aspects of international relations between developed and developing countries.
