**Analysis**
The text appears to be a formal document related to international relations and human rights, specifically addressing the policies of apartheid in South Africa. It mentions the Declaration on Apartheid and its destructive consequences, and the South African government's objections to international intervention in its internal affairs. This suggests that the document is more related to political and social issues rather than economic or environmental topics.
