In its resolution 1989/20, the Sub-Commission on Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities welcomed the preliminary report entitled "Realization of Economic, Social and Cultural Rights" (E/CN.4/Sub.2/1989/19) and endorsed the preliminary conclusions of the Special Rapporteur in that preliminary report (para. 94). 2. The Special Rapporteur established contacts with the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and discussed with the members of the Committee, during the Committee's fourth session, questions considered in the preliminary report. 3. The Commission on Human Rights, in its resolution 1990/16, welcomed the dialogue thus established between the Committee and the Special Rapporteur. Furthermore, the Commission welcomed the preliminary report on the realization of economic, social and cultural rights, invited the Special Rapporteur to take into account comments made by the Commission on Human Rights and requested that in the report priority be given to identifying practical strategies to promote for everyone the economic, social and cultural rights 
**Analysis**
The text appears to be a report on the realization of economic, social, and cultural rights, focusing on the New International Economic Order and its implications on human rights. The report discusses various aspects, including social and economic indicators, standard-setting, extreme poverty, and preliminary recommendations. Given the emphasis on economic and social rights, it seems likely that the report is more closely related to human rights and development issues.
