UN General Assembly
1971

202. It is especially urgent that the thinking of people should be., changed since the inequalities between the developed and developing countries have become more accentuated, thus giving rise to a duality harmful to peace. 203. How can we fail to express once again our gratitude to the SecretaryGeneral, who has always endeavored to sound the alarm about this dangerous division between the "haves" and the "have-nots"? 204. Thus far, alas, his seems to have been a voice in the wilderness. Concern for the wellbeing of all men seems to have receded into the background in the conscience of the Governments of most countries, and especially the well to do countries, while the virus of the arms race has extended its destruction even to areas where hunger and ignorance continue to exist. 205. It is indeed high time that the recommendations which we adopted in this Organization became programs of action. These recommendations primarily concern international trade, basic commodities, the transfer of resources, the relation between official and private aid and the transfer of science and technology.
