The designations "developed" and developing "are intended for statistical convenience and do not necessarily express a judgment about the stage reached by a particular country or area in the development process"
Most of the countries are divided in three sections;
1-least developed countries
2-Developing countries
3-Developed countries
Countries in transition (but these are mainly developing countries of east Europe and some of the developed countries dominanting UN can not afford to regard these countries as developing because of similar civilisation)
