**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing a political and human rights issue, specifically the trial of 37 South West Africans by the Government of South Africa, and the international community's response to this issue. The text mentions General Assembly resolutions and the Secretary-General's role in following up on the implementation of the resolution. This suggests that the issue is related to international relations, politics, and human rights, rather than a specific economic or social sector.
