**Analysis**
This text appears to be related to the reporting of a country's progress on human rights, specifically those recognized in articles 13-15 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. It seems to be focused on the government's obligations to report on the measures taken to achieve the observance of these rights, as well as any factors and difficulties affecting their fulfillment.
