Abstract
Delegations and delegates constitute — in most cases — the principal participants in conference diplomacy. A delegation might consist of only one person or it might be very large, and have, for example, 61 members, as was the case for the largest delegation (that of the Soviet Union), at the first UN Conference on Trade and Development (Geneva 1964).
