Abstract
The following section deals with the commodity agreements. The one after that concerns UNCTAD, not only because this organization seeks to coordinate negotiations regarding these agreements, but also because it has attracted attention by its tendency to broach numerous subjects of a general nature.
The possibilities of commodity agreements are rather limited, since the technical and economic characteristics of many commodities and the nature of the trade in them preclude the useful application of international commodity agreements. HARRY G. JOHNSON
