**Analysis**
The text is a speech by the Spanish Prime Minister, addressing various international issues, including disarmament, conflicts, human rights, and economic development. It seems to be more focused on international relations, politics, and humanitarian concerns rather than specific economic or environmental issues. However, some mentions of economic and social issues, such as poverty, exploitation, and lack of protection for workers, suggest that the category might be broader than just one specific area.
