- Title: KENYA: IRANIAN REPRESENTATIVE TELLS UNCTAD CONFERENCE SOME INDUSTRIAL COUNTRIES AVOID BASIC ISSUES OVER RAW MATERIALS FROM THIRD WORLD.
- Date: 14th May 1976
- Summary: 1. SV Delegates form Ghana, Kuwait, Chile, Canada, Ukraine and Soviet Union seated 0.22 2. CU Farrokh Najmabadi speaking 1.12 3. SV Tunisian delegate seated 1.17 4. CU Farrokh Najmabadi continues speaking 1.36 5. SV Australian delegates seated 1.41 This film is serviced with speech by Mr. Najmabadi. A transcript follows: "A number of developed countries among us are even ready to clearly admit the unfairness in certain features of the existing international economic relations, thus justifying many of the grievances we had voiced in the past. Mr. President, all those expressions point to the fact that what was once termed as unrealistic demands are now being increasingly recognised as irrefutably logical and just expectations. However, in spite of these encouraging signs of greater understanding,s we are still faced with serious problem that some developed countries continue to confuse the effects with the cause, thereby proposing solutions which would alleviate the symptoms without striking at the root cause. In my delegation's view it is not sufficient to pose the problems and then side-step the basic issues. As regards the misconception propagated by some developed countries that the adjustment in oil price has substantially contributed to their high rate of inflation, I wish to point out that this factor has constituted not more than 1.5 per cent, and in some instances as low as 0.5 per cent, in the inflation rate of the industrialised countries."
