UNCTAD – United Nations Conference On Trade And Development

Ferdowsi, Mir A.·2010·A Concise Encyclopedia of the United Nations

Abstract

In 1964, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) was established as a special organ of the UN General Assembly (General Assembly) to advocate a basic restructuring on behalf of the developing countries. Apart from being assigned new working fields, UNCTAD was as well considerably tightened up in its institutions. Now the UNCTAD Secretariat is intended mainly to fulfill the function of an opinion-leader, with primarily analytic research work along the lines of an tOECD of the Southt. The convening of the conference was, however, preceded by lengthy disputes: the industrialized countries were only willing to establish the conference as a subsidiary body to the ECOSOC (Principal Organs, Subsidiary Organs, Treaty Bodies). Finally, agreement on the foundation as a tspecial organt of the GA was reached with a compromise: the developing countries gave up their plan to establish an organization exclusively concerned with aspects of development. Keywords: ECOSOC; GA; UNCTAD

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
