Group of Seventy-Seven

Group of Seventy-Seven (G- 77) in relation with International Trade

In the context of trade organizations, Christopher Mark (1993) provided the following definition of Group of Seventy-Seven (G- 77): A caucus for the developing countries on economic matters in the United Nations and subsidiary organizations. The group had its origins in the “Joint Declaration of the 77 Developing Countries” appraising the work of the first UNCT AD in 1964; the numerical designation has persisted, although the membership of the group now totals 127 countries plus the Palestine Liberation Organization.
