proposed to replace operative paragraphs 6 and 7 by a new operative paragraph 6. 4. In spite of the efforts of the international community, the Second United Nations Decade to Combat Racism and Racial Discrimination had not achieved its objectives. Millions throughout the world continued to suffer from racism, racial discrimination and apartheid. The draft resolution would identify the problems and the new forms of racism and racial discrimination, in particular, those affecting migrant workers, indigenous peoples and other vulnerable groups in society. Those new forms of racial discrimination were proliferating and called for efforts on the part of the international community to find new methods to combat them. 5. She drew attention, in particular, to operative paragraph 1 in which, the Sub-Commission recommended a third Decade to Combat Racism and Racial Discrimination, starting in 1993. Operative paragraph 2 emphasized the obligation of the international community to take urgent measures to eradicate apartheid and to combat racism and racial discrimination against indigenous peoples, migrant workers and other vulnerable groups. The proposed new paragraph 6 called for activities to increase the effectiveness of United Nations action to combat racism and racial discrimination. 6. The sponsors hoped that the draft resolution, as amended, would be adopted by consensus. 7. Mr. CISSE (Secretary of the Sub-Commission) read out the text of the proposed new paragraph 6: "Requests the Secretary-General to consider ways and means, including mechanisms necessary to respond to urgent situations and new trends involving racism or racial discrimination in any part of the world, and to prepare an outline, for consideration at its forty-third session, of possible activities for increasing the effectiveness of United Nations action to combat racism and racial discrimination, reflecting the principles contained in this resolution." 8. Mrs. DAES requested that her name be added to the list of sponsors. E/CN.4/Sub.2/1990/SR.18 page 3
