UN General Assembly
1981

44. TVvo United Nations Development Decades "have passed without achieving the targets set. Similarly, the negotiations initiated after the sixth special session of the General Assembly, which were intended to provide a new foundation for international economic relations, have not yet enabled us to glimpse the possibility of a new international economic order. 45. the action plans which were drawn up successively at Lima, Buenos Aires, Vienna and New Delhi, in the framework of UNIDO and UNCTAD conferences, have not yet even begun to be implemented. More than a year ago the eleventh special session ci the General Assembly, which was intended to initiate the resumption of the global negotiations in the NorthSouth dialog, ended its work without having been able to reach agreement even on matters of procedure. 46. Today, & we enter the second year of the Third United Nations Development Decade, the economic situation is deteriorating more and more for the developing countries, which are the hardest hit by the effects of the international economic crisis.
