analysis: This text appears to be discussing the distribution of staff at the United Nations, specifically focusing on the representation of developing countries in senior and policy-formulating posts. The data presented is likely related to the administration and management of the United Nations, rather than a specific sector or industry. The text also mentions the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), which suggests that international trade is an underlying aspect of the discussion.
