The language used is formal and technical, suggesting a focus on international law and human rights issues. The report mentions the functioning of reporting procedures and the possibility of convening a meeting of chairmen of bodies entrusted with considering reports. This suggests a focus on governance and international cooperation rather than a specific economic or environmental issue.
