    Declaration on International Economic C_peratlon. in particularthe Revitalization of Eeonomlc Growth and Development of the Developing CountriesWe, lite Statcs Members of ite United Nations,Solemnly proclaim our strong commitment to a global consensus topromote urgently international economic co-operation for sustainedgrowth of tb e world economy and, in particular, to the revitalization

    of economic growth and development of the developing countries soas to realize the basic right of aU human beings to a life free fromhunger, poverty, ignorance, disease and fear. To that end, we adoptthe present Declaration.1. This is a time of positive transformation in international relalions. The reduction in international political tensions, the increasingintegration of the world economy and the broad movement towardseconomic and political reform will create an opportunity for strength

    ening international economic co-operation based on the need to pm-vide just and equal opportunities to all peoples to enable them todevelop their full potential.2. We strongly affirm the need to revitalize growth and development in the developing countries and to address together the problems

    of abject poverty and hunger that continue to amiCI ra r too many peopie in the world. Th e international community has a responsibility togive strong support to the efforts of the developing co untries to solvetheir grave economic and social problems through the creation of afavourable internatio nal economic environment.3. In an increasingly interd ependen t world, the developing countries should play an important role in the growth and expansion of theworld economy for the progress and prosperity of all peoples.4. Each country is responsible for its own economic policies fordevelopment, in accordance with its specific situations and conditions,and for the life and well being of all its citizens. Na tional policies alsoneed to take fully into account the obligations of all countries to international economic co-operation.

    I. AssEssMENT OF TIlE 198055. In the 1980s. progress in developed and developing countrieswas uneven. Th e decade was marked by a widening gap between thosegroups of countriesas well as by relatively slow growth and large globalfinancial and trade imbalances. Developed market-oriented cou ntrieshave succeeded to a large exten t in controlling inflation and in maintaining sustained, th ough modest, growth. However, many countries,particularly developing countries, have e ncoun tered serious difficulties in tbeir attemp t to adapt to structural changes, to benefit from theeconomic growth of the industrialized countries and to promote thewellbeing of their citizens.

    6. External and fISCal imbalances in some of the countries whoseeconomies have the largest impact on the world economy have contributed to international monetary instability and led to higher interestrales. In the late 1980s, such imbalances started to narrow; none theless, they remain large.1. For many developing countries, th e 19805 have been viewed asa decade lo st for development. Living conditions in Africa and LatinAmerica and the Caribbean, and in parts of Asia. deteriorated, andeconomic and social infrastructure eroded, impairing stability andprospects (or growth and development. Other developing countrieswere able to achieve economic and social progress.8. lne position of developing countri es in internatiocal trade andfinance weakened substantially, fur ther widening the gap between developing and developed counrries. External indebtedness emerged asa main factor in the economic stalemate in the developing countries.

    Their capacity to service debt was seriously weakened as interest ratesgrew and terms of trade deteriorated. This problem has contributedto the fali in investment and the cessation of new financial flows. Alongterm downward trend in the prices of commodities has had devastating effects for commodity-dependent developing countries.

    9. As a result, there was a large ne t transfer of resources from thedeveloping to the deveioped countries, depriving tbe former oC muchneeded resources for development. This made the process of adjustment more diffICult and complicated th e tasks of coping witb its socia!consequences and obtaining the necessary political support for reform.10. Eastern European countries were not appropriately involvedin the world economic system. Their need for comprehensive reformand transCormation grew and. in the late 198Os, fundamental politicaland economic changes began to take place. These countries face problems of adaptation to the scientific, technological and structuralchanges taking place in tbe world economy.11. As the world changes around us, we must respond positively.

    Th e 19805 marked the beginning of fundamental rethinking towardsthe achievement of economic development. A gradual convergence ofviews on economic policy, including the need for sound macroeconomic policies and enhanced competition, is emerging. flexibility, creativity, innovation and openness must be integral parts of oureconomic systems.II. CHAt.L.ENGES AND OPPORTUl'ImES FOR ru E 19905

    12. Th e most important challenge for the 1990s is the revitalization of economic growth and social development in the developingcountries, which calls for sustained growth of the world economy andfavourable external conditions. This major challenge has to be addressed in the context of increasing interdependence and integrationin the world economy.13. It will be essential to stem the increasing marginalization ofthe least developed countries and to reactivate their growth and development through comprehensive national action and internationalsupport measures.14. Finding an early and durable solution to the international debtproblems, meeting the increasing needs Cor development finance, creating an open and equitabl e trading system and facilitating the diversmcallon and modernization of the economies of developingcountries, particularly those that are commodity-dependent, are conditions for the revitalization of growth and development in the developing countries in the 1990s and require continued concened efforts.15. There is a pressing need to improve the international economic environment in order to ensure the success of national policies.Countries can then take advantage of the major advances in scienceand technology and the globalization of markets and thereby enhancetheir human capital and modernize the ir economies.

    16. Economic development must be environmemally soun d andsustainable. Th e deterioration of the environment is a cause of graveCOIlcern for an countries. Growing environmental problems. such aspollution. desertification, deforestation and climate change, increasingly pose a serious threat to the future growth of the world economy.11. Countriel have to adapt their national poIjde3 to fadlitate

    open exchange and flexible responses to the dlanging world economy.Effective national poIjde3 have a critical role to play il l achieving sus-tained, non-inftationary economic growth in all countries. Suchcies should be mpportive of iovestment as weli as ofallocation and mobilizat.ion of resources il l order to achieve durablegrowth.18. The eradication of poverty and hunger. greater eqUity in in-

    come distribution and the development of human resources remaiomajor dlalleng es everywhere. Economic and social progress requiresthat growth be broadly based. offering equal opportunities to ali people, both women and men, to participate fully in economic. social andpolitical activities.

    19. There is a need to integrate the Eastern European countriesinto the world economy and the international economic system. Thisshould generate positive impulses for world trade and development.20. The revitalization of economic growth and development of thedeveloping countries will have to be undertaken against the backdrop

    of these opportunities and challenges. Ou r collective efforts will beneeded to ensure that the rapidly changing realities result in a positivetransformation in favour of the economic development of all countries, particularly the developing countries.m. AND I 'OUOS FOR tNlERNAllONAL

    DEVm..OPMENT co.oPEM11OM21. Reactivation of economic growth and development in the de veIoping countriel will require a eoooerted and committed effort byall countrie s. The present opportunity to restore a long-term approadl

    to development and move beyond short-term adjustment must heseized. The States Mentbers of the United Nations will endeavour tolake all ateps to reverse the adverse trends of the 1911Os. address the dlalIenges of the 1990s and move into a 100re productivedecade. Such actions should lake into account the responsibility ofeadl country for its own development and should be in aceordaneewith its capacity and its impact on the international economy.

    22. The major industrialized countries influence worid economicgrowth and the international economic environment profoundly. Theyshould continue their efforts to promote sustained growth and to narrow imbalances in a manner that can benefit other countries. The c0 -ordination of macro-eeonomic po!icie:s should talce full account of th einterests and coneerns of an countries, particularly the developingcountries. Effor ts should be made 10 enhance the effectivenessof multilateral surveillance aimed at correcting existing external and fISCalimbalances, protnoling non-inftationary sustainable growth, loweringreal rates of nterest and malcing exchange rates more stable and markets 100re accessible.

    23. In aceordanee with their legislation, development objectivesand national priorities. developing countries should continue to worktowards keeping contro l over inflationary tendencies, promoting d0-mestic savings, achievinS favourable conditions for domestic and fore ip investment, modemizinS their economies and increasins theirinternational competitiveness.24. However, economic policies should have as their ultimate 0b-jective the betterment of the human conditiun and the enhancement

    of th e contribution of all persons to development. The full utilizationorhwnan resources and the recngnitionof buman rigbts stimulate creativity, innovat ion and initiative.25. A primary objective must be to respond to the needs and maximize th e potential of all members or society. Health, nutrition, housing, population policies and other social services are a key to bothi.mproving individual welfare and successml development. Educalionand training, which must be available to an, are essential for improving

    the quality of human resources and for economic growth.The international community should support to arrest the CUf'rent escalation of extremepoverty and hunger. It is essential to reversethe present deterioration of this grave situation.

    26. A durable and broad solution of tbe external debt problemsof tbe developinS debtor countries should continue to be given urgentattention, and the serious debt-servicing problems of some olher countries should be further addressed wilh a view 10 an early solution. Re-

    oent initiatives and measures to reduce the stadt and service of debtor to provide debt relief for developing countries should be broadlyimplemented. Relief measures sbould aim at the resumptionons growth and development in these countries and should address alltypes of bilateral debt of debtor developing countries. Serious consideration should be given to contiouing to work towards a growth-ori-ented solution of the of developing countries with seriousdebt-servicing problems. those whose debt is to offi-cial creditors or to mult ilat eral tnsUtllltCIns.

    21. Substantial coneessiooal re sources will be called for to enabledeveloping countries, especially the least developed ones. to cope witbthe dlaIlenges of the 1990s. Developed oountries should implementthe undertakings they have made to attain the agreed internationaltarget of devoting 0.1 per oen! of SfOSS national prnduct to officialdevelopment assistance and 0.15 per cent to the least developed countries. Developed countries should enhance the quantity and quality oftheir aid_ Appropriate additional resources for tbe least developedcountries should be considered at the Second United Nations Conferenee on the Least Developed Countries. lbe special developmentproblems and needs of tbe island and land-locked developing countries should also be addressed.

    28. Scientific and technological capability is increaSingly important in tbe development of developing countries. Developed countriesand international organizations should supp ort the efforts of developing countries to create and develop endogenous capacities in this area.

    29. The current threat to the environment is the com1OOn concernor all. All countries should t ake effective actions for the protectionand enhancement of the environment in accordance with their respective capacities and responsibilities and taking into aceount the specifieneeds of developing countries. As the major sources of pollution, thedeveloped countries have the main responsibility for taking appropriate measures urgently. The economic gfowth and development of de veIoping countri es are essential in order to address problems of thedqradation and protection of the environment. New and additionalfinancial resources will have to be dlanneiled countries.Effective modalities for favourable access to,mentally sound technologies, in particular to developing countries, including on COIlccssionai and preferential terms, should be examined.

    30. Multilateral financial institutions should be in a torespond to the increasing development need s of developing countriesin the 1990s. They should be provided with adequate resources to support long-term development, to facilitate structural reform and 10 finance programmes to alleviate the adverse social consequenees ofadjustment for poor and volnerable groups.

    31. Countries should seek to reduce expenditures for military purposes, thereb)' opening up the possibility of enhanced spending on ciai and economic development for the benefit of all countries, inparticular the developing countries. In this context, the feasibility ofchannelling some of these reductions through financial mechanismsfor development should be explored.32. All open and credible multilateral trading system is essentialfor the promotion of growth and development. Ally present or futuretrends towards unilateralism, bilateralism .and th e erosion of the multilateral trading system must be arrested. Protectionism should be reosisted everywhere; oommitments to standstill and roll-back ofprotectionism should be honoured. It is vitally importan t thallhe Uru

    suay Round of multilateral trade negotiations result in a balanced outcome, preservinS and strengtbening tbe multilateral trading system,enabling trade liberalization and increased market access for the exports of developing countries,. The principles underlying the multilateral trading system should be reaffirmed, and internationalorganizations active in multilateral trade should be strengthened aspart of the process of attaining these objectives.

    33_ Commodity exports will continue to play a role in theeconomies of most developing countries and to make a crucial contribution to export and investment. There is a need for beuerfunctK)niIlg of markets and 100re stable and predictableconditions. the developing cou ntries to increaseand stabilize their All ooUDuies and multilateral in-stitutions should measures to support these endeavours.

    34. Regional economic is importan t in expandingtrade and investment in countries. Developing countr iesshould strive to promote integration and strengthen eco-nomic and technical co-operation among tbemselves. These efforts

    III. Resolu"" adoptN .. ile report of lIe Ad Hoe eo ... tt H 7should be encouraged and supported by the developed countries, as velopmenl. They have a major responsibility in the great task of revi-well as by the international organizations. tatizing growth and developmeat in the 1990s.

    35. Eastern European countries should be supported in thei r efforts to integrate themselves into the international economy, including, as appropriate, their adhesion to international institutions. Thiswill benefit their own people and the rest of the world; it must notdetract from the high priority placed on international developmentco-operation with the developing countries. 1beir integration willstrengthen the role of Eastern Europe as a dynamic trade partner andas a market and source of technology.36. 1be United Nations system has a large role to play in international co-operation for revitalizing development in the 1990&. Allits Member Slates have a responsibility for making it more effectiveand efficient. The United Nations is a unique forum in which the community of nations can address all issues in an integrated manner. Itsmany specialized agencies make an indispensable contribution to de-

The States Members or tbe United Nations pledge themselvessolemnly to advance the multilateral dialogue, to respond to the challenge and commitments contained in tbe present Declaration throughnational policies and enhanced international co-operation and to keepthe implementation of the Declaration under political review.
