**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing a resolution related to human rights, specifically the right of peoples to self-determination and its application to peoples under colonial or alien domination or foreign occupation. The language used is formal and diplomatic, suggesting a discussion at the United Nations Commission on Human Rights. The text mentions various organizations and countries, but does not seem to be focused on economic or environmental issues.
