	E/1999/31 E/CN.16/1999/9 Commission on Science and Technology for Development
		Science and technology will face in the future a number of important challenges related in particular to the changes in the structure of world economy, to the changing roles of the major development actors and to the introduction of new technologies and the various environmental, legal and moral problems connected with their application.
		Science and technology is important in improving the quality of life of the world’s population, particularly the most vulnerable and disadvantaged groups, including women.
		In pursuing this goal, the United Nations Commission on Science and Technology for Development is committed to the common vision of an entitlement to knowledge and to the benefits of science and technology for development in the twenty-first century.

	Monitoring The UN
		This new commission was charged with revitalizing the work of previous committees in existence since 1979 as well as undertaking new initiatives, with a focus on increasing cooperation and coordination and providing policy and programme advice across the UN system.
		The Commission on Science and Technology for Development owes its origins to the 1979 United Nations Conference on Science and Technology for Development held in Vienna.
		Furthermore, while the goal of addressing the basic human needs of the least developed countries and sections of the population through science and technology were reaffirmed as a central principle, the importance of science and technology to developing the export sector of the economy in developing countries has been advanced.

	UNCSTD
		The concerns of developing countries regarding their participation in the GII and NII now bear less on whether this should be accorded high priority, than on how to effectively apply information technologies to development so as to reduce, rather than widen and deepen, the gap between information "haves" and information "have-nots".
		Developing countries are constrained in their ability to negotiate favorable terms with multinationals, particularly as they are often competing among themselves for a limited supply of international capital.
		Developing countries should seek to establish a framework and mechanisms that ensure the participation of all sectors in implementing the national information and communication infrastructure and co-ordinating and harmonizing the multiple efforts of the different players, including the private sector, NGOs, telecommunication administrations and operators, researchers, teachers, and the media.

	Issues of science and technology for development
		In multilateral diplomacy, the transfer of ecologically friendly technologies to developing countries and related domestic capability building is indeed an agenda item of the utmost importance - especially during the first decade or so while these countries are allowed a sort of grace period before their fuller participation in the emerging conventions and protocols.
		Technology blending is intended not just for possibilistic scenario writing, but as an actual improvement in traditional technologies in use in terms of unit cost of production, factor productivity, and output quality.
		The world's science and technology community has not only been guilty of the bias of "technological determinism" in grappling with societal problems, but its major outputs have tended to respond sooner to signals from lucrative urban markets than to basic human needs in underprivileged regions.

	COMSATS Secretariat
		The Commission on Science and Technology for Sustainable Development in the South (COMSATS) is an international organization, aiming at socio-economic uplift of the third world through useful applications of science and technology.
		Abdus Salam, the Noble Laureate, in acknowledgement of the increasingly widening gap of knowledge and technology between the North and the South.
		It was realized that sustainable socio-economic development in the South cannot be achieved without building and sustaining indigenous capacities in science and technology and that the strengthening of South-South and North-South collaboration and exchange of resources is imperative for generation and sustenance of such capacities.

		The Human Development Report this year points out that "the greatest danger is the complacent belief that a profitable and growing industry will solve the problem by itself." But the market will only make global citizens of those who can afford it unless we work to redress this situation.
		We in India have recognized the crucial importance of science and technology as the critical determinant of development and long-term growth and are seeking to ensure that we remain on the fast track to knowledge based growth.
		Developing countries increasingly face obstacles in accessing state of the art technologies with export restrictions on high technology being put in place by exclusive clubs of technology owners on the grounds of possible dual use.

		Both the UN Commission and UNESCO made many useful suggestions as to what might be done by governments, industry, scientists, and NGOs to move to gender equity in science and technology, and I commend their reports to you.
		In addition, the Commission, with help from UNIFEM, reviewed the activities of the UN system with regard to gender and made a number of recommendations to the UN system (Review of Policies and Activities of UN Organizations in the Field of Gender, Science and Technology).
		Finally, the Commission recommended the creation of the Gender Advisory Board, the task of which was to review the future work programmes of the Commission from a gender perspective and to monitor the implementation of all of its gender recommendations.

		The theme for this session is; “Science and Technology promotion, advice and application, for the achievement of the internationally agreed development goals, contained in the United Nations Millennium Declaration.
		In the context of the Least Developed Countries, the MDG`s can only be achieved through a clearly defined, albeit determined policy to adopt pragmatic strategies and including, where applicable, “leapfrogging” certain stages in our development processes, through employment of newly emerging technologies such as Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs).
		To me, this is such a far-reaching benefit, that the finance houses and the Governments in the developed world would look upon as the partnership of the future.
