**Analysis**
The text appears to be a treaty or agreement related to the use of outer space, specifically prohibiting the use of weapons of mass destruction and military activities in space. It also mentions the importance of peaceful purposes, scientific research, and international cooperation. These themes suggest that the text is more closely related to international relations and diplomacy rather than economic or social issues.
