**Analysis**
This text appears to be a summary record of a meeting of the United Nations General Assembly's Sixth Committee, which is responsible for legal matters. The discussion revolves around the election of a chairman, which is a procedural matter. Given the lack of any specific agenda items related to economic development, natural resources, or other topics, it seems unlikely that this text falls under any of the categories related to those areas.
