94. In the course of many international conferences during the past decade, these problems of under-development have been clearly identified. In a word, what we need to do is to establish more just and humane relations between countries, and to do away with the structures of domination, which are a holdover from the days when the majority of mankind had no right to speak and which hampered the development efforts of the peoples of the third world. 95. Above and beyond this distressing vision of today's world, dominated by inconstancy and lack of understanding, we must add that the world economic crisis has apparently brought with it a disturbing return to protectionism, which might well destroy all the efforts at industrialization in the third world. 96. Certain measures have been adopted in this context which suggest that an unrealistic view is being taken of the economic problems and which are unacceptable to the international community either out of simple justice or out of the long-term interests of the world's peoples, especially those of the developed countries.
