that the Eighth United Nations Congress on the Prevention of Crime and the Treatment of Offenders should consider the report under item 3 (topic I) of its provisional agenda. 38. By operative paragraph 4 of the same resolution, the Committee recommended that the Eighth Congress, after considering that report, should endorse its recommendations and propose the necessary action for their implementation, considering in particular: (a) The formation of an expert working group to further elaborate the proposed programme and the mechanisms required for its implementation; (b) The convening of a summit or ministerial meeting to consider the proposed programme and any international instruments required to develop its content and structure; (c) The organizational structure required for the proposed programme, including the conversion of the Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice Branch into a major unit of the Secretariat or the establishment of a new United Nations agency. 39. The formation of an expert working group and the convening of a summit or ministerial meeting would involve expenditures which cannot be precisely determined at present. It is expected that, when the Eighth United Nations Congress considers the recommendations contained in the report of the Committee (E/1990/31/Add.l) and should the Eighth Congress decide to recommend to the General Assembly the formation of an expert working group or the convening of a summit or ministerial meeting, the Congress would at the same time provide additional guidance on such matters as the composition of the group, its terms of reference, the duration of its meetings or of a summit or ministerial meeting, and the timing and locations of those meetings. 40. With the additional guidance provided by the Eighth Congress, the Secretary-General will be in a position to inform the General Assembly of the programme budget implications relating to the formation of an expert working group 
**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing a report and recommendations related to crime prevention and the treatment of offenders, which suggests a focus on international cooperation and policy-making in the field of criminal justice. While it does not explicitly mention economic development or other categories, the report's recommendations involve expenditures and organizational structures, which implies a connection to international governance and administration.
