Yet, its inception goes back more than 60 years, when the idea was crystallized as a key building bloc of the national liberation and anti-colonial struggle of developing countries1. The struggle found its apogee in the UN and was marked by the Congo crisis that witnessed the deaths of Patrice Lumumba and Dag Hammarskjold. In March 2019, the United Nations will hold the 2nd High-level Conference on South-South cooperation, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, to discuss the state and prospects of South-South cooperation (SSC) and chart a path for the future. The Conference will also mark the 40th anniversary of the 1978 UN Conference on Technical Co-operation among Developing Countries (TCDC), also held in Buenos Aires, which adopted the Plan of Action for Promoting and Implementing Technical Cooperation among Developing Countries (thus the acronym for BAPA+40 or Buenos Aires Plan of Action + 40). BAPA+40 offers a new opportunity for the international community and, more importantly, the Global South to focus attention on South-South cooperation. This cooperation is important not only for development and national-sovereignty aspirations and needs of the developing countries and their peoples, but also for these countries’ greater role and influence in the world arena. Consequently, South-South cooperation holds a promise of the developing countries playing a key role in reforming and shaping the · When the editor of the Vestnik RUDN International Relations , published by Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia (RUDN University), formerly Patrice Lumumba University, approached me with the suggestion to contribute an article on South-South cooperation for the journal’s special issue devoted to the 2019 UN High-level Conference on South-South Cooperation, he stressed the importance of including footnotes, and also suggested that I liven up the text with some recollections from my own academic and professional experience. I have obliged by providing ample footnotes parallel to the main body of the text, in the hope that this unorthodox, eclectic essay - partly historical, partly analytical and partly prescriptive - may serve as useful reference for those working on South- South cooperation, and also for researchers of this subject and the large student body from the Third World, especially Africa, studying at RUDN University, some of whom may in the future take part in a South-South cooperation undertaking. world order to respond to the shared needs and objectives of humankind. The essay approaches this question from a point of view widely shared in developing countries and is inspired by their decades-long collective struggle in the world arena.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Концепция сотрудничества по линии Юг-Юг не очень широко известна и применяется не часто. Исключением в данном случае выступает разве что Организация Объединенных Наций. Данная концепция начала формироваться более 60 лет назад в качестве центрального элемента национально-освободительной и антиколониальной борьбы развивающихся стран, которая достигла своего апогея в рамках ООН и ознаменовалась конголезским кризисом, приведшим к трагической гибели Патриса Лумумбы и Дага Хаммаршельда. В марте 2019 г. в Буэнос-Айресе (Аргентина) состоится Вторая Конференция высокого уровня по сотрудничеству Юг-Юг с целью обсуждения состояния и перспектив сотрудничества по линии Юг-Юг и определения его будущих контуров. Конференция также ознаменует сороковую годовщину проведения Конференции ООН по техническому сотрудничеству между развивающимися странами 1978 г. (г. Буэнос-Айрес), на которой был принят План действий по содействию и осуществлению технического сотрудничества между развивающимися странами (Буэнос-Айресский План действий, БАПД). 40-летие БАПД позволит международному сообществу и, что более важно, «Глобальному Югу» сосредоточить внимание на сотрудничестве по линии Юг-Юг. Это сотрудничество важно не только для развития и укрепления суверенитета развивающихся стран и населяющих их народов, но и для увеличения их роли и влияния на мировой арене. Следовательно, сотрудничество Юг-Юг открывает развивающимся странам новые горизонты в трансформации и формировании мирового порядка для удовлетворения общих потребностей и целей всего международного сообщества. Автор, вдохновенный многолетней коллективной борьбой стран «глобального Юга» на мировой арене, рассматривает проблематику сотрудничества Юг-Юг именно с позиций развивающихся стран.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>BAPA +40, South</kwd><kwd>South cooperation (SSC)</kwd><kwd>the Global South</kwd><kwd>the United Nations</kwd><kwd>Patrice Lumumba</kwd><kwd>Julius Nyerere</kwd><kwd>Non-Aligned Movement (NAM)</kwd><kwd>Group of 77 (G77)</kwd><kwd>UNCTAD</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>БАПД +40, сотрудничество Юг</kwd><kwd>Юг</kwd><kwd>«Глобальный Юг»</kwd><kwd>ООН</kwd><kwd>Патрис Лумумба</kwd><kwd>Джулиус Ньерере</kwd><kwd>Движение неприсоединения (ДН)</kwd><kwd>Группа 77</kwd><kwd>ЮНКТАД</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><award-group><award-id></award-id></award-group></funding-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Ahmia, M.
