The rapporteur should be asked to prepare, if feasible, a set of principles of human riqhts and the environment for adoption by United Nations bodies, with due concern for enforcement of standards in domestic and international forums. 
analysis: The text appears to be focused on the relationship between environmental issues and human rights, specifically highlighting the impact of environmental degradation on human well-being and the need for a comprehensive approach to address these issues. The categories that seem most relevant are those related to the environment and human rights.
