LIMA DECLARATION

AND PLAN OF ACTION
ON
INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT
AND CO-OPERATION


A. DECLARATION

1. The Second General Conference of the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation, convened by General Assembly resolution 3087 (XXVIII) of 6 December 1973, entrusted with establishing the main principles of industrialisation and defining the means by which the international community as a whole might take action of a broad nature in the field of industrial development within the framework of new forms of international co-operation, with a view to the establishment of a new international economic order, adopts

the LIMA DECLARATION ON INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND CO-OPERATION

The net result of establishing principles of industrialisation according to this document, is to de-industrialise the developed countries by transferring industry to the third world countries

The New International Economic Order that the Lima Declaration imposes on member countries of the United Nations is only of benefit to transnational companies and international financiers including the IMF and World Bank group, it legalises the power to control world industry and manufacture in the cheapest and most profitable countries.


4. Bearing in mind resolutions 3201 (S-VI) and 3202 (S-VI), of May 1974, adopted at the sixth special session of the General Assembly on the Declaration and Programme of Action on the Establishment of a New International Economic Order, according to which every effort should be made by the international community to take measures to encourage the industrialisation of the developing countries with a view to increasing their share in world industrial production, as envisaged in the International Development Strategy,

The actual date of establishing the NIEO at the sixth General Assembly was the 1st of May 1974, this date represents Communist Mayday, the significance here is that the Lima Declaration imposes the immediate goals of communism as spelt out by Stalin in 1942.


5. Recognising the urgent need to bring about the establishment of a new international economic order based on equity, sovereign equality, interdependence and co-operation, as has been expressed in the Declaration and Programme of Action on the Establishment of a New International Economic Order, in order to transform the present structure of economic relations.

The term interdependence is newspeak coined by the Club Of Rome, it infers the ploy that world war will be prevented by ensuring that no country may be self sufficient, and therefore will not make war on other countries that supply essential goods.

In reality, interdependence forces all countries into economic servitude to the international banking cartel and transnationals.


25. Their resolve to ensure the speedy and effective implementation of the principles of industrialisation laid down in the International Development Strategy for the 1970s which is being adapted to the Programme of Action on the Establishment of a New International Economic Order;

The United Nations had the goal of a New International Economic Order before it was even formed, the International Development Strategy commenced in 1961 and has been another venue for espousing the rhetorical virtues of the NIEO and interdependence.


28. That, in view of the low percentage share of the developing countries in total world industrial production, recalling General Assembly resolution 3306 (XXIX), of 14 December 1974, and taking into account the policy guide-lines and qualitative recommendations made in the present Declaration, their share should be increased to the maximum possible extent and as far as possible to at least 25 percent of total world industrial production by the year 2000, while making every endeavour to ensure that the industrial growth so achieved is distributed among developing countries as evenly as possible. This implies that the developing countries should increase their industrial growth rate considerably higher than the 8 percent recommended in the International Development Strategy for the Second United Nations Development Decade;

This is the real crunchline that Australia had to prepare and legislate to transfer Australian industry to the third world by the year 2000.

This has been happening ever since Whitlam committed Australia in 1975, the two party system followed on preparations with Fraser, Hawke, Keating and now Howard completing the task that he has been nurturing since 1979 when he was Treasurer .

So secretive have been the preparations for the NIEO that even now most Australians believe that our recession we had to have was an accident, Franklin Delano Roosevelt once said that if something happens in the world of politics, you can be sure it was made to happen!


32. That every State has the inalienable right to exercise freely its sovereignty and permanent control over its natural resources, both terrestrial and marine, and over all economic activity for the exploitation of these resources in the manner appropriate to its circumstances, including nationalisation in accordance with its laws as an expression of this right and that no State shall be subjected to any forms of economic, political or other coercion which impedes the full and free exercise of that inalienable right;

This is typical Animal Farm rhetoric here!

The LIMA/NIEO has forced Australia to relinquish all and any economic sovereignty she once possessed, the conditions of the LIMA/NIEO have reduced Australia to a debt ridden backwater running at a huge loss, this guarantees that the International Monetary Fund can and have been dictating Australian financial policy for some years, look at the IMF conditions being imposed in Korea, Japan, Russia and Mexico, and realise that we are no different, only kept uninformed!


59. The developed countries should adopt the following measure:

(a)   Progressive elimination or reduction of tariff and non-tariff barriers and other obstacles to trade, taking into account the special characteristics of the trade of the developing countries, with a view to improving the international framework for the conduct of world trade. Adherence to the fullest extent possible to the principle of the "standstill" on imports from developing countries and recognition of the need for prior consultation where feasible and appropriate in the event that special circumstances warrant a modification of the "standstill";

(b)  Adoption of trade measures designed to ensure increased exports of manufactured and semi-manufactured products including processed agricultural products from the developing to the developed countries:

        (c)  Facilitate development of new and strengthen existing policies, taking into account their economic structure and economic, social and security objectives, which would encourage their industries which are less competitive internationally to move progressively into more viable lines of production or into other sectors of the economy, thus leading to structural adjustments within the developed countries, and redeployment of the productive capacities of such industries to developing countries and promotion of a higher degree of utilisation of natural resources and people in the latter:

These are the guidelines that Keating, Button and other key politicians have been parroting or espousing, the LIMA/NIEO demands the reduction of tariffs, removal of impediments to free trade, and the advice that Australia should move into alternatives to manufacturing and industry. 

This disgraceful, secretive document is the virtual blueprint for Australia's complete economic makeover, it was the driving force for the Campbell and Martin reports that preceded the deregulation of the economy in 1983!


60.

        (l)  Preference should be given by the more industrialised developing countries, as far as possible, to imports of goods produced by the less industrialised countries. Positive policies are needed to increase intra-regional and inter-regional trade in manufactures:

Even more instructions to the government to put other countries interests before the interest and welfare of Australia contrary to the constitutional requirement of Treasury to provide full employment for all Australians.
