text: Charter is based on the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples. That is Article I paragraph 2. The common article I of the Interna: tional Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, adopted by the General Assembly in resolution 2200 (XXI) A, states clearly that “all peo- ples have the right to self-determination”. Neither the Charter nor the Covenants attempt to lay down exceptions. Article 73 of the Charter which, with Article 74, constitutes the Declaration regarding Non- Self-Governing Territories, recognizes the principle that the interests of the inhabitants of Territories such as the Falkland Islands are “paramount” and that the inhabitants of non-self-governing territories are “within the system of international peace and secu- rity established by the present Charter”. In other words, the provisions about peaceful settlement and the non-use of force to which I have referred apply equally to non-self-governing territories. Article 73 speaks of development of self-government and the progressive development of free political institutions. It is institutions of this nature which the Falkland islanders have long enjoyed. Indeed, it makes a mockery of the right to self-determination for Argen- tina to attempt to replace a democratic government and democratically elected bodies in the Falkland Islands with a military dictatorship. It adds insult to injury when this military dictatorship attempts, as it is doing, to change the way of life of the Falkland islanders, to bring in settlers, to buy up land, to impose the Spanish language, to change the curricula in the schools and so on. All this is quite clearly contrary to the right of self-determination protected by the Charter, Indeed, it smacks of colonialism by Argen- tina. 113. It is grotesque for Argentina to criticize the system of government in the Falklands as colonial. 
analysis: The text appears to be a diplomatic or political statement, discussing the principles of self-determination, international law, and the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands. It touches on issues related to governance, democracy, and human rights. Given its focus on international law and the rights of a specific population, it seems likely that the category would be related to international relations or human rights.
