Can one say: Richer countries BEAR THEIR SHARE OF RESPONSIBILITY for third World problems? Or it's a fixed expression: bear the responsibility?
Thank you!

The concept that 'Richer countries must bear their share of responsibility for Third World problems' is a 'White Man's Burden' trope from the 19th Century to cover hegemony. Third World 'problems' become 'clients', then 'rice tents'. Hey, just tip the Gatekeepers, and bicycle those aid funds!!
