Officially the Independent Commission on
International Development Issues, established
in 1977 and chaired by the former West German
chancellor Willy Brandt. Consisting of 18
eminent persons acting independently of
governments, the commission examined the
problems of developing countries and sought
to identify corrective measures that would
command international support. It was
disbanded in 1983. Its main report, published
in 1980 under the title North-South: A
Programme for Survival, made detailed
recommendations for accelerating the
development of poorer countries (involving
the transfer of resources to the latter from
the rich countries).
