**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing the procedures and processes related to international organizations, specifically the Economic and Social Council, and the Sub-Commission on Human Rights. It mentions resolutions and reports, and seems to be concerned with the functioning of these organizations and the treatment of countries and governments within them. This suggests that the text is related to international governance and human rights, rather than a specific economic or scientific field.
