analysis: The text appears to be a record of a meeting of the United Nations Committee on the Admission of New Members, where the application of the Principality of Liechtenstein for admission to the United Nations is being discussed. The language and content suggest a formal, bureaucratic process, with no apparent reference to economic, environmental, or social issues. The focus is on the procedural aspects of the application process, which leads me to believe that the category is more related to international relations or diplomatic processes rather than a specific policy area.
