**Analysis**
The text appears to be a report on a diplomatic incident between Costa Rica and Nicaragua, involving a complaint to the Organization of American States (OAS) and a visit from the President of Costa Rica to the Committee investigating the incident. The text does not mention economic development, natural resources, agriculture, industry, transport, international trade, health, education, employment, humanitarian aid, or culture. However, it does touch on science and technology in the sense that it refers to the "Judicial Investigative Office" and "rescue squad" which may involve some scientific or technological aspects. Therefore, it is likely that the incident is related to international relations and diplomacy.
