text: necessary for the implementation of the present resolu­ tion as well as the various resolutions on decoloniza­ tion adopted by the General Assembly and the Special Committee. 2028th plenary meeting, 20 December 1971. 2919 (XXVII). Decade for Action to Combat Racism and Racial Discrimination The General Assembly, Firmly convinced that racial discrimination in all its forms and manifestations is a total negation of the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations and that it militates against human progress, peace and justice, Believing that the continuation of national, regional and international action against racial discrimination in all its forms is a matter of vital importance if the world is to live in peace and justice, Noting that a detailed draft programme for a Decade for Action to Combat Racism and Racial Discrimina­ tion has been prepared by the Sub-Commission on Pre­ vention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities2 and that it has been submitted to the Commission on Human Rights for urgent consideration at its twenty- ninth session, 1. Decides to launch the Decade for Action to Combat Racism and Racial Discrimination and to inaugurate the activities thereof on 10 December 1973, the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Universal Declara­ tion of Human Rights; 2. Invites therefore the Economic and Social Coun­ cil to request the Commission on Human Rights to give the highest priority to the consideration of the draft programme for the Decade and to submit it to the General Assembly at its twenty-eighth session for final consideration. 2085th plenary meeting 15 November 1972 2921 (XXVII). Report of the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination The General Assembly, Having examined the report of the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination on the third year of its activities/' submitted under article 9, para­
analysis: The text appears to be focused on human rights and international cooperation to combat racism and racial discrimination. It mentions the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Commission on Human Rights, and the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, which suggests a strong connection to human rights and international law. The text does not mention specific economic or environmental issues, which leads me to believe that it is not primarily focused on economic development, natural resources, or environmental issues.
