Invites the International Monetary Fund to continue devising
concrete policy measures and actions to address the problems faced by indebted
developing countries;
18.
Underscores the need for encouragement of private flows to all
countries, in particular developing countries, while reducing the risks of
volatility;
19.
Stresses the urgent need to continue to provide social safety nets
to vulnerable groups most adversely affected by the implementation of economic
reform programmes in the debtor countries, in particular low-income groups;
20.
Urges the international community, particularly the creditor
countries and multilateral institutions, as well as commercial banks and other
lending institutions, when continuing the implementation of various measures
aimed at contributing to effective, equitable, development-oriented and
durable solutions to the external debt and debt-servicing problems of
developing countries, as well as when exploring the need for additional and
innovative measures to alleviate substantially the external debt and
debt-service burden of developing countries, to ensure that the debt strategy
evolved through the years is fully implemented and taken into account;
21.
Recognizes the urgent need for the international community to
assist developing countries, in particular the poorest and heavily indebted
countries, in mobilizing the resources needed for their development efforts,
and also recognizes that effective, equitable, development-oriented and
durable solutions to the external debt and debt-servicing problems of
developing countries could contribute towards releasing domestic resources and
sustaining their development efforts, in particular those for social
development;
22.
Calls upon the international community, including the relevant
institutions, to build upon the momentum gained from the various meetings that
have addressed debt issues and to address the external debt and debt-servicing
problems of developing countries, particularly those of the least developed
countries, in the elaboration of an agenda for development;
23.
Also calls upon the international community, including the United
Nations system, and invites the Bretton Woods institutions, as well as the
private sector, to take urgent measures and action for the implementation of
the commitments, agreements and decisions of the major United Nations
conferences and summits organized since the beginning of the 1990s on
development, addressing, inter alia, and where appropriate, the question of
external debt;
24.
Requests the Secretary-General to report to the General Assembly
at its fifty-first session on the implementation of the present resolution.
