analysis: The text appears to be related to international law and human rights, specifically the suppression and punishment of apartheid. It mentions the General Assembly, the Secretary-General, and the ratification and accession of states to a convention. The focus is on promoting the convention and its implementation, rather than on economic or technological aspects.
