text: addition, deletion, and merger of different items on the existing aqenda. Some delegations felt that the agenda should evolve in reflection of changes in the world, and specific proposals were mentioned on the possibility of adding some new items like maritime security and disarmament, conventional armaments, and regional disarmament, and the possible merger of existinq items 2 and 3 relating to nuclear disarmament and the prevention of nuclear war respectively. Other delegations felt that the agenda represented the result of a consensus which had emerged in SSOD-1 in 1978, and that what was necessary was not so much a change in the agenda, as a great political will to negotiate on the different items which already figured on it.

analysis: The text discusses the agenda and Programme of Work of a conference, mentioning topics such as maritime security, disarmament, and regional disarmament. While these topics may seem to be related to international relations or global governance, the language and tone of the text suggest a focus on diplomatic negotiations and international cooperation, rather than economic or scientific issues. Therefore, it is likely that the text falls under the category of international relations, but given the specific topics and context, it may also relate to issues of security and disarmament.
