Global Negotiations

Global negotiations in Global Commerce Policy

In this regard, global negotiations is: full name Global Negotiations Relating to International Cooperation for Development. The plan for global negotiations grew out of the proposals for a New International Economic Order. The negotiations were expected to be launched by the United Nations General Assembly in 1980 after more than three years of consultations on a possible agenda, procedures and timeframes. Views on the draft agenda were diverse, with calls for negotiations on raw materials, energy, trade, development, money and finance. Some countries had a preference for negotiations to proceed under the auspices of the various United Nations bodies having responsibilities for particular subject areas, but others suggested that a separate and all-embracing negotiating structure should be created. However, no progress was made in the General Assembly in 1980, and although the proposal was reviewed each year, there was no sign that agreement would ever be possible on most aspects of the proposed negotiations. From 1987, the global negotiations no longer seem to appear on the agenda for the General Assembly. See also Charter of Economic Rights and Duties of States and North-South dialogue.[1]
