**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing a specific issue related to the United Nations, specifically the Post-adjustment index for New York, and the campaign by staff bodies to support the ICSC decision and against the General Assembly resolution. The text also mentions a legal defense fund established by FICSA, which suggests that the issue may have implications for the staff of the United Nations. Given the context, it is likely that the issue is related to the employment or financial aspects of working for the United Nations.
