Most of the comments rnade point to tbe existence of a large corpus of refevant
analysis: The text appears to be a report on a discussion about a "new international human order" and its moral aspects, with a focus on development. The language used is abstract and philosophical, suggesting that the report is more concerned with the ethical and moral implications of development rather than specific economic or technical aspects. The text mentions comments from Member States, but does not provide concrete data or analysis on specific development issues.
