analysis: The agenda of the 40th regular session of the General Assembly appears to focus on a wide range of topics, including organizational matters, elections, appointments, and reports on various UN organs and agencies. While some items may touch on economic and social issues, the overall scope of the agenda does not suggest a primary focus on a single category.
