Lesson 22
The United Nations Conference
on Trade and Development
(UNCTD)
At the perennial insistence of
the new states, the United
Nations
General Assembly proclaimed宣布
the sixties as the first development
decade, and in 1962 it decided to
convene (召开) a United Nations
Conference on Trade and
Development.
While the discussions could
have taken place within the
framework of ECOSOC or GATT,
the less-developed countries urged the creation of a new institution.
They argued that the problems
discussed by these two bodies （机构）mainly concerned the economic
interests of the developed
countries
and considered GATT as a “rich
men’s club”. At that time the GATT

Lesson 21
WTO and China
After 15 long years of hard
negotiations, China became a
formal member of the World
Trade Organization on Dec. 11,
2001. People may wonder whether
it pays (值得be worthwhile) for
China to devote such a lot of time
and efforts for accession to 加入the organization. So some
knowledge about the
WTO as well
as the opportunities it provides and
the challenges it poses to China is
quite necessary.
The origin of the WTO can
be traced back to (date back) the
early post World War II years. To
guard against the threat of trade
wars, major trading nations sent
their representatives
to Havana in
1947 to
create an International
Trade Organization for the
promotion of international trade.
That objective was, however, not
realized for controversy（争议）over
the extensiveness
of the powers of
the proposed ITO（拟成立的ITO）（这一目标由于对拟成立的ITO

international financial organizations
are the World Bank and the
International Monetary Fund

Bank is the International Bank
for
Reconstruction and Development
(IBRD). The Bank and its three
affiliates(附属机构), the
International Development
Association (IDA),
the
International Finance Corporation
(IFC), and the Multilateral
Investment Guarantee
Agency
(MIGA), are sometimes referred to
as (called) the World Bank Group.
The common objective of
these institutions is to help raise
standards of living in developing
countries by channeling (引导，输送) financial resources（资金，资金来源）to them from developed
countries. 世行集团的共同目标是通过把资金从发达国家输送到
发展中国家以帮助提高这些国家的生活水平。
