This text appears to be related to the United Nations' efforts to verify human rights violations in El Salvador. The mission's objectives, powers, and scope of work all point to a focus on promoting and defending human rights, rather than any of the other categories. The text does not mention economic development, natural resources, industry, transport, communication, international trade, health, education, employment, or humanitarian aid and relief. It also does not seem to be related to culture, science, or technology.
