analysis: The text appears to be a report from the United Nations General Assembly, discussing the financial difficulties faced by the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. The report highlights the importance of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination and the need for the Committee to continue its work. The text does not mention economic development, natural resources, or environmental issues, but rather focuses on the functioning of a human rights committee.
