In recent months the Australian Government has taken a number of measures in relation to trade and investment with South Africa. On 18 April 1985, the Government announced that it was planning to introduce an Australian Code Of Conduct for Australian companies with commercial interests in South Africa. The statement in which the Australian Foreiqn Minister announced details of these measures in the Australian Parliament was circulated as a document of the General Assembly and the Security Council (A/40/265-5/17125, annex). 2. The Code of Conduct is to be a voluntary undertaking applyinq to Australian companies or their subsidiaries, branches or affiliates operating in, investing in or havinq representation in South Africa and employinq non-white personnel. The Code incorporates, in its reportinq format, a reauirement for companies adhering to it to report annually to the Australian Government on their compliance, which will be monitored. The Code’s recfuirements relate to all non-white employees of Australian companies with operations in South Africa, reflectinq the Government’s concern about discrimination aqainst all non-white people of whatever racial or ethnic backqround. Its provisions are based upon widely accepted international and domestic principles and are consistent with the basic conventions on human riqhts Of the International Labour Organisation and Australia’s Racial Discrimination Act. 
**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing the implementation of a code of conduct by the Australian government regarding trade and investment with South Africa, with a focus on non-discrimination and human rights. This suggests that the category should be related to international trade and human rights.
