will inevitably have an impact on the effectiveness and durability of their policies, and hence on the success of international co-operation. It is the integrated apProach to international co-operation and development, in which the economic and social spheres and international and national action are mutually supportive, that the ILO would like to see the Assembly stress at this special session. However, there is one last question of major importance that we must raise: are the bodies of the United Nations system capable of being effective agents of this integrated international co-operation? The new climate of co-operation to which I have just referred gives us what may be a unique opportunity in the history of the United Nations system to do the work for which the specialized agencies were established. Are we capable of seizing this opportunity? Are we ready to make our own effort at adaptation? Each of our organizations has specific responsibilities in the economic, financial, monetary, trade, social and human rights spheres. Each has its own identity, its own structures, its own working methods and its a,,n philosophy. This diversity could, however, be a source of weakness if we do not prove capable of achieving at the international level that same ooherence, that same unity. of action, in the economic, social and human rights spheres as we advocate at the national level. Should we not try together to achieve better integration of our shared action, a new synthesis of our approaches which could become a unique development model, rather than continuing individually to pursue autonomous and even contradictory objectives? This cotnm00 nodel should reconcile the need for sound economics with the equally urgent need for greater human justice and complete respect for fundamental human rights. A stronger commitment to those shared I: JP/ASW A/S-18/PV. 2 175 (Mr. Hansenne, ILO)
