**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing the relationship between disarmament and development, which suggests a connection to international relations and politics. However, the report also mentions the implementation of measures within the United Nations system, which could involve various sectors. Upon closer examination, it seems that the primary focus is on the intersection of disarmament and economic development.
