co-operation with non-governmental organizations was another priority area in furthering the realization of the Programme of Action. The Centre for Human Rights itself was giving priority to strengthening its Decade-related activities and to placing renewed emphasis on the fight against racism and on the Decade. For example, on United Nations Day in October 1989 it had held a round-table discussion in Geneva on the role of the United Nations in the promotion and protection of human rights, with specific reference to the fight against racism and racial discrimination. The Centre's activities aimed at eradicating racial discrimination figured prominently on the agenda of its workshops, training courses and seminars in the field of technical assistance and I • • • E/1990/SR.S English Page 12 (Mr. Martenson) advisory services, as well as in the World Information Campaign for Human Rights. In the context of the Decade's activities for the period 1985-1989, the Centre had also held, at Athens in September 1989, a seminar on cultural dialogue between the countries of origin and the host countries of migrant wor~ers. Later in the year, the Centre intended to focus attention on the root causes of racism through a seminar to which experts, governmental officials and representatives of non-governmental organizations would be invited. The Centre intended the seminar to consider a variety of factors contributing to racism and racial discrimination from the perspectives of especially vulnerable sectors of the population, and to review the causes and current manifestations of racism. The pro~eedings of the seminar would be widely disseminated. As reflected in document E/1990/20 and Add.1, the information received by the Secretary-General indicated the considerable volume and wide-ranging nature of the activities carried out by the international community in the struggle against prejudice, racial discrimination and apartheid.
