UN General Assembly
1990

The fact that principal centres of decision-making with a considerable influence on the life of the world's peoples and their political and social well- being operate outside the United Nations system has further weakened the organisation’s standing. That is a flagrant contradiction that we should overcome considering the establishment of a new order taking into account the legitimate interests of the world's population without preference or discrimination. In recent years, ш have been hoping for improvement in the situation of the developing countries, expansion of their economies and a rise in their standards of living and social conditions. We cannot but feel sorry to see developing countries becoming progressively poorer. How can it be otherwise when 11 more States were repeatedly added to the list of least developed countries? All this, in fact, stems from an inequitable economic environment that ignores the rights of the developing world.
