Why have some nations developed while others struggle?

At the UN General Assembly (UNGA), Iran, Syria, and Kenya have raised concerns about the uneven distribution of global development. These nations pointed to war and injustice as primary factors that have negatively impacted their development trajectories. The representatives from these countries used the UNGA platform to highlight how these global issues have created disparities, leading some nations to struggle while others have progressed. The core message conveyed was that conflict and systemic unfairness are significant impediments to equitable development worldwide.
