Interview

Dr. Jorge Illueca

by Dennis Small and Carlos Wesley

The president of the 38th General Assembly of the United Nations discusses the fight by the developing sector to achieve more just economic relations in the midst of a world economic crisis that is also striking the industrialized nations’ economies. Dr. Illueca cites the advanced sector’s failure to multilaterally negotiate on the crisis, and the threat to the national sovereignty of the heavily indebted developing sector nations.
