**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing the work of the International Law Commission on the topic of "The law of the non-navigational uses of international watercourses". This suggests that the topic is related to natural resources and the environment, as watercourses are a crucial aspect of ecosystems and human use. The text also mentions the Commission's work on the topic dating back to 1971, which further supports the hypothesis that the topic is related to environmental and natural resource management.
