**Analysis**
The text appears to be related to the political situation and self-determination of Puerto Rico, with a focus on the United Nations Special Committee's decision to keep the question of Puerto Rico under review. The text also mentions previous resolutions and declarations, as well as the right to self-determination and independence. This suggests that the category should be related to politics or international relations.
