Abstract
Abstract The Group of 77 (G77) came into being on 15 June 1964 when, at the end of the first session of the → United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) in Geneva, 77 → developing countries issued a joint declaration (Joint Declaration of the Seventy-Seven Developing Countries Made at the Conclusion of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development) which was spelt out three years later as the Charter of Algiers at the first ministerial meeting.
