analysis: The text appears to be discussing international human rights instruments, specifically the Convention on the Suppression and Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid, and the efforts of the United Nations to encourage governments to ratify or adhere to these instruments. The text also mentions the Commission on Human Rights and its role in monitoring the implementation of the Convention. This suggests that the text is related to human rights and international law, rather than economic or social development.
