analysis: The text appears to be a report from the United Nations Security Council regarding the withdrawal of a contingent from the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) in the Middle East. The report mentions the intention of the Government of Peru to withdraw its contingent and the Council's request for another country to replace it. The text does not contain any information about economic development, natural resources, agriculture, forestry, fishing, industry, transport, communication, international trade, health, education, employment, humanitarian aid, or culture. The focus is on international relations and diplomatic matters, specifically the withdrawal of a UN peacekeeping force.
