text: case the concept would be covered by the term "ways and means". 13. He supported the proposal by Mr. Sadi to add "and educational" in operative paragraph 3 and also Mr. Eide's proposal to hold a one-day joint meeting with the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. 14. Mr. GUISSE considered that it would not be appropriate to equate apartheid with other forms of racial discrimination. In the evolution of international law in the Commission and Sub-Commission, the two concepts had always been kept separate and they had been combated by different means. Apartheid was an institutionalized form of racial discrimination as a form of government. The existing text of operative paragraph 2 was already good and complete. 15.

She suggested that the wording should be revised to read: "Convinced of the need to proclaim, in 1993, a third Decade ••• ". 18. With regard to Mr. Guisse's comment on Mr. Sadi's amendment to operative 
analysis: The text appears to be a discussion of a proposal or resolution related to human rights, specifically addressing apartheid and racial discrimination. The language used is formal and technical, suggesting a meeting or conference of a UN agency or commission. The topics discussed, such as the need for a third Decade, the importance of activities, and the consideration of proposals, further support this hypothesis.
