**Analysis**
The text appears to be related to the United Nations' Special Committee on Decolonization and its activities in regards to sending visiting missions to territories under colonial administration. The resolution mentions the implementation of the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples, which suggests a focus on decolonization and self-determination. The text also mentions the need to dispatch visiting missions to facilitate the implementation of this declaration, which implies a focus on the political and administrative aspects of decolonization.
