**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing the work of the United Nations, specifically the General Assembly and its committees, in relation to international law and cooperation. The topics mentioned, such as genocide, international criminal jurisdiction, and the definition of aggression, suggest a focus on international relations and law, rather than economic or social development.
