Abstract
In early 1964 the first session of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) was held in Geneva1 signalising the emergence of a view among the developing countries that the time had come for changes in the trade policies of the developed countries. At the three-months-long conference the objectives of these policies and the institutional arrangements which must give expression to them were subjected to severe and continuous criticism by the delegates of developing countries.
