**Analysis**
The text appears to be a resolution or statement from the United Nations, focusing on the human rights situation in southern Africa, specifically in Namibia, Southern Rhodesia, and Portuguese-dominated territories. It condemns practices of torture, ill-treatment, and racial discrimination, and reaffirms the legitimacy of the struggles of the peoples of southern Africa to oppose apartheid and colonialism. The text also references international human rights instruments, such as the Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners. Given the focus on human rights and the condemnation of specific practices, it is likely that the text falls under a category related to human rights.
