analysis: The text appears to be a resolution or declaration by the United Nations, condemning the continued colonialist and racist repression in Namibia and Zimbabwe, and urging the international community to take action to bring about the elimination of colonialism. The language used is formal and diplomatic, and the text references previous resolutions and declarations. The main issue at hand is the struggle for independence and self-determination, rather than economic or environmental development.
