His delegation also wished to emphasize the direct link between the protection of economic, social and cultural rights on the one hand and the prevention of nuclear catastro­ phe on the other. He expressed the hope that the new Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights would continue the tradition of mutual understand­ ing exemplified by the Working Group and that it would make a significant contribution to the removal of the obstacles to the enjoyment of those rights. 18.

Mr. CHOWDHURY (Bangladesh), introducing draft resolution E/ 1986/L.20, said that in the text the general thrust of the debate in the Council was taken into account. He summarized the contents of the draft resolution, drawing particular attention to paragraphs 7 and 8, which reflected the concerns of many delegations, and paragraph 10, which empha­ sized the need for more co-ordination in the field of population. 22. The end of paragraph 9 should be revised to read: " . . . a co-ordinated, effective and efficient strategy for the United Nations to address population issues;". In paragraph 12, the part of the sentence following the phrase "a further report" should read: "to it at the forty-third session of the General Assembly, through the Economic and Social Council". 23. Since some delegations had approached his delegation with ideas for changes in the draft resolu­ tion, he suggested that informal consultations should be held. 
analysis: The text appears to be discussing international efforts and agreements related to human rights, particularly economic, social, and cultural rights. The mention of the Working Group on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, and the Covenant suggests a focus on international law and policy. The discussion also touches on issues such as poverty, hunger, and economic development, which are all relevant to the category of human rights.
