111. For the first factor to express its constructive presence the solidarity of all countries in the developing sphere is required, that is, all those that constitute the so-called Group of 77. The forthcoming meeting in Lima might well be a milestone, not only in restoring understanding among the "77" themselves, but in making it even deeper as a consequence of finding the common character of their interests and the strengthening of negotiations, which is the cement that binds them together. We believe that international agreements must not continue to consider all developing countries as in the same position; they must recognize the relative differences among them and therefore norms have to be established that will give more to those who have less, and therefore carry out that distributive international justice among the third world nations that we call for from the developed countries.
