**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing the United Nations' program and budget for the biennium 1986-1987, specifically regarding the Department of Public Information and its activities in disseminating information about the United Nations to the public. The text mentions various program elements, such as disarmament, human rights, and new world information and communication order, which suggests that the category should be related to international cooperation and global issues.
