Abstract

In the contemporary global economy, the majority of international institutions are actively engaged in analyses, assessments, and recommendations for the improvement of economic development in developing countries. The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) is one of the most important international organizations dedicated to the problems of trade and development in developing countries aiming to improve trade and investment and help them integrate faster into the global economy. The organization aims to provide assistance to developing countries and enable them to cope with potential shortcomings and problems during economic integration. In this paper, we are going to give a brief overview of the institutional and regulatory activities of the organization, with specific examples of the activities, effects, and guidelines of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, using rather useful and cited reports of the organization such as Trade and Development Report and World Investment Report, along with presenting the position of Serbia.
