analysis: This text appears to be a resolution passed by the United Nations General Assembly, specifically addressing the issue of apartheid in South Africa. The language used is formal and diplomatic, and the text references previous resolutions and declarations by the General Assembly. The focus is on the human rights and international relations aspects of the issue, rather than economic, environmental, or scientific aspects.
