UN General Assembly

(c) Technical assistance personnel must have the necessary competence for the proposed task, a sincere desire to work for the development of the requesting country, and respect for the aspirations of the people they are called upon to serve. They must agree not to serve policies that do not conform to those of the country for which they are working and must..act in a manner consistent with the ideas of the Government of that country. They must be able to co-operate not only with their fellow citizens on the technical assistance staff, but also with technical assistance personnel from other countries and with the competent national officials with whom they must come into contact. 51. My delegation considers this area so obviously important that it ventures to suggest that the countries of the Third World should join forces to decide upon their common requirements and take adequate steps to remove from their technical assistance programmes any technicians who do not meet those requirements.
