To give support and encouragement to the criminal former Somozist guardsmen settled in Honduras, who during the first 18 days of this year have assassinated 29 persons-mainly young people and children, such as the 13-year-old Guadalupe Ruiz-and have abducted and wounded dozens of Nicaraguans including Pedro Cruz, also aged 13, who are members of the brigades of volunteers helping with the coffee harvest. "3. To prepare conditions for the launching of even more far-ranging acts of aggression. ..

Shultz, Nicaragua once again reaffirms the re­ sponsibility of the Reagan Administration in all these crimes committed against defenceless Nicara­ guan citizens, engaged solely and exclusively in the task of the reconstruction and defence of the fatherland. ""The Government of Nicaragua makes another appeal for prudence and cessation of the threat or use of force, inviting the Government of the United States to engage in a frank and unconditional dialogue, in order to prevent a conflagration and achieve peace." I should be grateful if you would arrange for this communique to be circulated as a document of the Security Council.

**Analysis**
The text appears to be a diplomatic communiqué between Nicaragua and the United Nations Security Council, addressing a conflict between Nicaragua and Honduras. The content focuses on the alleged aggression and intimidation by Honduras towards Nicaragua, including the assassination of Nicaraguan citizens, and Nicaragua's appeal for a peaceful resolution. The text does not mention economic development, natural resources, or any other categories related to development or welfare. It primarily deals with international relations, conflict, and diplomacy.
