UN General Assembly
1965

99. The Government of Mexico, has from the outset vigorously supported the efforts of the United Nations to secure a revision of international trade policies and thus redress century-old injustices. The developing countries' awareness of the justice of their aspirations, the co-ordination of their endeavours and their unshakeable unity have contributed decisively to the adoption of principles and agreements from which a new concept of international economic co-operation in trade is emerging. Nevertheless, we find it deeply disquieting that, as the Secretary-General points out in the introduction to his annual report [A/6001/ Add.1], the principles approved at United Nations Conference on Trade and Development in Geneva have as yet had little or no effect on the policy which in fact, rather than in theory, governs commodity trade. 100. International commodity agreements may not be perfect, but they are undoubtedly useful and we must continue to strive for their conclusion, for the incorporation in them of the principles approved at Geneva and for the application and constant improvement of those already concluded.
