analysis: The text appears to be discussing the economic and social rights of developing countries, specifically the challenges they face in achieving these rights due to the existing unjust international economic order. It also mentions the right to development, popular participation, and the obstacles to implementing human rights and fundamental freedoms. These themes suggest that the category should be related to economic development and international trade.
