XIII. RESOLUTION ADOPTED ON THE REPORTS OF THE SECOND COMMITTEE
1324. International commodity problems
1. Urges Governments of Member States to continue to examine, on a commodity-by-commodity basis, the question what measures may be desirable and feasible in offering solutions to particular commodity problems;
2. Supports the action taken by the Economic and Social Council under resolution 691 (XXVI) for the purpose of making the Commission on International Commodity Trade more effective, and its decision to convene the Commission early in 1959;
3. Recommends that the principal producing and consuming countries give careful consideration to the possibility of becoming parties to or actively co-operating with existing international trading arrangements dealing with the problems of commodity trade;
4. Expresses the hope that countries which do not participate in or co-operate with established international trading arrangements will refrain from the use of trade practices generally considered to be unfair which would impede or prevent the satisfactory working of those arrangements;
5. Appeals to the Governments of all Member States to increase their efforts to promote conditions favourable to the expansion of international trade and, in relation to their commercial policies and trade practices, to take into account any possible harmful repercussions which they might have, particularly on the trade of under-developed countries.
