MAlES (Unlt~d States of Amedca): Ife are heretcday to review the work don6 on the International Development Strategy for the 1990s. The document we art consider1n9 1. complicated, which is appropriate since it do~la wl~ en enormous range ef subjGcts touching the IDte~ests of all our count~iea in various wal's. It 18 iapcrt&Dt to Dete that the International Development Strategy doas not .tend elon" it raprassnta on8 step in the preceDe of considering economic develOPMent in the world. It ie structured aloDg the 11n&s of the Declaration on inter~stloDa1 economic co-operation adopted by the Assembly at its eighteenth special se8s10n. That Declaration represents an !mpo~t~t Dew step forwa~d in the (The Presidapt) a convergence of views on the need for sound macroeconomic policies, enhanced competition and greater flexihility, innovation and openness. The International Development Strategy contains useful observations about ~ _- human rights .. about political and economic pluralismudabOut' 'othe"i "ftiportiiif"-'- n~tioDal policies ~d national responsibility, about the role of the sartet, about ··points. My delegation is also sensitive ~o the need for a supportive international environment and believes that the developed ,countries do have a special responsibility in this regard. Nevertheless~ the development strategy, we believe, is slightly unbalanced regarding the responsibilities cf the developing co~tries. This tendency in the text conveys a tone Characteristic of previous, UDful~illed strategies, and it concerns my delegation. One way to have tempered this would have been through a more thorough historical analysis of key elements in the international economy, such ~s the destabilizing effect of increased oil prices, the lack of developing-country growth despite the massive transfers of resources to developing countries in earlie~ years and the ri4dle of why some developing countries prospered in the economic enviroument of the 19808 while others did not. Also characteristic of previouD, failed strategies is the setting of targeted, numerical goals for economic growth, agricultural production, aid t anafers and industrialization. In joining the consensus on the International Development Strategy, the United Statea does not commit itself to these arbitrary goals, nor will it support increases in international-organisation budgets beyond those necessary to maintain zero real growth• We have join.d the conseD,sua as an .xpression of our desire for global harmony and our support for the aspirations of the d.veloping world. However, given the breadth of the International Development Strategy document, compromise was necessary if consensus vas to be achieved. The process of compromise inevitably means that Gov.rDments retain differing positions on matters important to them. It -< is in this light that I wish to tu. ~~'l\t to clarify a number of points in the text of the development strategy.' The United States recognises the opportunity that the International D.velopment St~ategy brings to broaden the cODsensus OD current policies and the rrogress of the strengthenod debt strategy. The International Development Strategy, in its treatment of multifaceted issues, itself demon~trate8 that debt ia only one aspect of the ecoDomic and financial problems currently faced by many developinq countries. n. external debt problems of the developing' countri.s ~equire a growth-oriented approach that e4dress.s overall economic and financial problems. The approach must be pursued on a cas8-by-case basi8, taking into account the particular circumstances of .achcountry. The most important st.p in addressing debt problems ls the adoption of appropriate domestic economic polici.s. Without strong adjustment, no amount of debt relief can restor. growth. The United States does Dot agree with the statement in paragraph 28 of the International Development Strategy that special action by creditor cOUDtri~s to facilitate debt and debt mervice reduction by commercial banks is nocessary. lather, ezperience hae domonstrated that such actions can be carried o~t und.r current tu, regulatory and accounting r89ill8s. As we have stated before, the United States considers that debt issu.s are appropriately handled in the International MOn.tary Fund, the World Bank and the Paris Club. We must be careful Dot to impinge on the independence or the mandates (Mr. Marts, UQitOd States) of the international financial institutions and ether mUltilateral forums. The value of these bodies to the global economy lies i~ thoir technical expertise and relative freedom from political pressure. Accordingly, the United States cannot support ~alls in the development strategy or in United Nations forums for specific action by the Paria Club or creditor Governments, or for debt relief by internctional financial institutionse It must be recalled that the United States objected to parts of the external debt section of the Programme of Action of the Second United Nations Conference en the Least Developed Countries, and made a specific reservation OD the issue of debt relief by multilateral financial inatitutions. Thorefore~ we must reserve our position OD paragraph 2~ of the International Development Strategy. Finally, and in keeping with our position about the appropriate forum, for treatment of such issues, the United States do~s not support the establishment of more than an ,external-debt monitoring role for the Secretary-General. With respect to the important question of the environment, the United States reiterates its intention to continue to play a major role in addressing shared international environmental problems. The International Development Strategy offered an opportunity to further the integration ef developmental and enviroDmGntal concerns, we believe that this opportunity was, unfortunnt.ly, missed. In our view, the development strat891- lacks belance on this subject in tenor and in language. The United States believes that all countries ahare responsibility for the protection and management. of our global environment, and that we mUllt work together to develop common lIoluticnso The language in the International Development Strategy, which places blame for all pollution at the . feet of developed countries, diverts attention from the fact that there are .' - .- actlonl~ and, in aany ca.e., comt-saving actioDs, that all couatr1e., 4eveloplDg and developed alita, aUlt take to control pollution an4 protect the environment. The United Stat•• beUeve. that, whUe eeonoslc growth and developaent al'. factorl in protecting the enviroDMnt, such e\lOIlOII!c growth and 4evelopant CaDnOt be IUltained without & healthy environment. Economic development ~d el\vlroD8eDtal protection go hend in hand. Glo~al at.wardwhip reqgire. C~~.t., euCh c~ltBent. require fiaaacial and tecbDical a••i.tance. However, the UDits4 Stat•• deem Dot &gra. that fiBaDeial resource. additional to overall 4eveloPM'Dt •••1stanco level. will have to be provided.
