**Analysis**
The text discusses the threat of nuclear war and its consequences, emphasizing the need for measures to limit and eventually eliminate nuclear weapons. It also touches on the importance of international cooperation and the peaceful use of atomic energy. Given the focus on nuclear weapons and their impact on international security, I hypothesize that the text falls under the categories related to international relations and security.
