**Analysis**
This text appears to be a notification by the Secretary-General to the General Assembly, detailing matters related to international peace and security. The text mentions various situations and conflicts around the world, including the Middle East, South Africa, Nicaragua, Chad, Iran, Iraq, Namibia, and Angola. These conflicts do not seem to be directly related to economic development, natural resources, or environmental issues, but rather to political and security concerns.
