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.

Mrs. WARZAZI, referring to the proposal by Mr. Alfonso Martinez concerning the last preambular paragraph, said that what the paragraph was intended to convey was the Sub-Commission's conviction of the need for a third Decade, and in the light of that conviction, the General Assembly could take a decision. 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

The topics discussed, such as the need for a third Decade, the importance of activities, and the consideration of proposals, further support this hypothesis.
