analysis: The text appears to be discussing a United Nations resolution related to apartheid in South Africa and Namibia, with various countries expressing their opinions and voting patterns. While there is no explicit mention of economic development, natural resources, or industry, the resolution's focus on the role of transnational corporations and the establishment of a non-racial, representative government in South Africa and Namibia suggests that the category is more likely to be related to international relations, human rights, or humanitarian aid.
