**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing legal and administrative matters related to the law of the sea, including the publication of studies and bibliographies on national legislation and international agreements. It also mentions the compilation of treaties and the maintenance of a specialized reference library on the law of the sea. Given the focus on legal and regulatory aspects, it seems likely that the text is related to international governance and cooperation.
