text: why several countries have performed well for a few years, only to face increasinqly severe foreiqn-exchanqe or inflation barriers. The critical minimum-investment threshold can be met, amonq other thinqs, by a substantial expansion of foreiqn-aid flows, the reschedulinq or the wri tinq-off of past debt, improvements in <bmestic project-planninq capacity and the creation of better opportunities for private investment as a means of inducinq a qreater volume of savinqs from peasant and household enterprises. Much qrea ter economic resources must be devoted to increasinq the moro~rtum of qrowth in the future. Secondly, the principle of economic justice must be accepted not only in the , desiqn and implementation of domestic economic policy but also in the conduct of international commerce. If special value is to be attached to the welfare of the poor in relation to other sections of society in the allocation of domestic resources, the same principle should not be allowed to disinteqrate in a Hobbesian state of war in the international arena. Poor people everywhere have special needs and disabilities, and developinq economies have a larqer proportion of poor than other societies. Special proqrammes of assistance desiqned to meet basic minimum needs, a siqnificant increase of aid flows towards the least developed countries from the donor communi tv, special preference schemes desiqned to ensure market access for develoPinq-countrv exports to the developed economies, the inclusion of aqricultural commodities in the scheme of the General Aqreement on Tariffs and Trade, and a halt to dumpinq and other unfair tradinq practices towards developinq economies are important elements in the view that, alonq with the notion of human rights, the idea of qrCMth with economic justice must permeate the formulation of international economic policy.
