The establishment of a category of least developed countries (LDCs) was fi rst advocated in the 1960s to attract special support measures for the most disadvantaged economies. The United Nations General Assembly acknowledged the need to alleviate the problems of underdevelopment of the poorest countries and requested the Secretary-General, in consultation with, among others, what was at that time the Committee for Development Planning, to carry out a comprehensive examination of the special problems facing the LDCs and recommend special measures for dealing with those problems.
