**Analysis**
The text appears to be a report on the human resources and employment practices of the United Nations Secretariat. It discusses the efforts made to increase the representation of member states, particularly those that were previously underrepresented or unrepresented, and the measures taken to recruit and appoint qualified candidates. The text also provides statistics on the number of appointments made and the results of national competitive examinations. Given the focus on human resources and employment, it is likely that the report is related to employment or human resources.
