Recalling that the General Assembly, in its resolutions 41/153 of 4 December 1986 and 43/140 of 8 December 1988, affirmed the value of regional arrangements for the promotion and protection of human rights in the Asian-Pacific region. Recalling also its own resolutions 1988/73 of 10 March 1988 and 1989/50 of 7 March 1989, Noting Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific resolution 45/2 of 5 April 1989, Recognizing the valuable contribution that could be made by national
analysis: The text appears to be a report from the Commission on Human Rights, discussing the promotion and protection of human rights. The language used is formal and technical, suggesting a focus on international law and policy-making. The content of the report does not seem to relate to economic development, natural resources, or other categories related to material resources or economic activity. Instead, it seems to be focused on the protection of human rights and the organization of international efforts to achieve this goal.
