analysis: The text appears to be discussing a political issue related to human rights in Southern Africa, specifically the adverse consequences of assistance given to the racist regime in South Africa. The document mentions various countries and organizations, including the Commission on Human Rights, and references reports and statements. The topic does not seem to be directly related to any of the traditional economic or social sectors.
