analysis: The text appears to be related to the reduction of military budgets and the development of a standard instrument for international reporting of military expenditures. This suggests that the category is likely related to international relations, politics, or defense. The text also mentions the General Assembly and the Secretary-General, which further supports this hypothesis.
