analysis: The text appears to be discussing international relations, specifically the enforcement of economic sanctions against a country (Southern Rhodesia/Zimbabwe) by the United Nations. The focus is on the actions of various states, including the United States, and the refusal of some countries to comply with UN resolutions. The text also mentions the importation of chrome ore and other minerals, which suggests economic interests.
