UN General Assembly
1967

We of the developing countries do not make our appeal to the people of the industrialized countries as taxpayers but as consumers. It is not our desire that they should pay more taxes to increase public aid for development policies.... It is not a policy of favouritism that we ask; what we demand of the highly-developed countries Is an opportunity to specialize and improve our production and to obtain therefrom the income that will enable our people to live with simple dignity ... the firm determination to integrate our action to bring price-levels of Latin America's agricultural and mining products in line with the rising prices of goods that science and technology make available to man to increase the enjoyment and ease of his life and work. In other words, if we have to pay high prices for the goods that our peoples so urgently and justifiably demand for their well-being, the prices of the products of our own soil and labour must be proportionately high."
