**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing a diplomatic resolution related to a specific region (Southern Rhodesia) and its relationship with neighboring countries. The resolution mentions the dispatch of a special mission to assess the situation and requests cooperation from governments involved. This suggests that the text is related to international relations, politics, and conflict resolution rather than economic, social, or environmental issues.
