analysis: The text appears to be discussing the remuneration system for international staff, specifically the post-adjustment system for salaries and the classification of duty stations. It mentions the use of a cost-of-living survey methodology and the need to ensure equivalence of purchasing power between different duty stations. The text also references resolutions and decisions made by the General Assembly and the Commission. Based on these details, it seems likely that the text is related to the management of international organizations and the compensation of their staff.
