analysis: The text appears to be a speech or statement from the Algerian representative at the United Nations, addressing the Gulf crisis and the need for a peaceful solution. The focus is on international law, the role of the United Nations, and the concerns of the Arab people. The text does not mention economic development, natural resources, agriculture, forestry, fishing, industry, transport, communication, health, education, employment, or culture. Instead, it seems to be a political statement highlighting the importance of international cooperation, respect for human rights, and the need for a just solution to the crisis.
