**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing the activities of the Economic and Social Council and its subsidiary bodies, including the Special Committee, in relation to the implementation of resolutions and the consideration of items on the agenda. The text mentions the Caribbean Development and Co-operation Committee, the Third Committee of the Economic and Social Council, and the Sub-Committee on Petitions, Information and Assistance. These bodies seem to be focused on economic and social issues, but the specific topics are not clearly defined.
