54. Lastly, he pointed out that his country was prepared to struggle against the scourge of racial discrimination with or without the support of other States. It would not hesitate, if necessary, to take up arms. Nevertheless, it hoped that that would not happen and that all countries would expr~ss their common determination, as stated in the Charter of the United Nations, "to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, which twice . . . has brought untold sorrow to mankind". 55. Miss EMARA (Egypt) said that the Programme of Action for the Second Decade to Combat Racism and Racial Discrimination2 had been adopted unani­ mously and that other resolutions dealing with that subject had been adopted without a vote. The consensus reflected in those resolutions had given rise to the hope that the Programme of Action for the Second Decade would be successfully implemented. Nevertheless, consideration of the report of the Secretary-General of 24 March 1986 (E/1986/ 15) on activities undertaken by United Nations bodies, the specialized agencies and non-governmental organiza­ tions to achieve the objectives of the Decade led one to the conclusion that in recent years those activities had been rather modest and were not in accordance with the objectives. 56. With regard to the reports submitted by Gov­ ernments on the implementation of the Programme of Action (see E/1986/14 and Add.l), her delegation commended the States which had provided that information and hoped that those which had not yet done so would furnish the relevant data as soon as possible. 57. Her delegation felt that, although the Pro­ gramme of Action had been adopted by consensus, the political will to implement it had been lacking. For that reason, she called upon States, the United Nations and non-governmental organizations to re­ double their efforts to eliminate racial discrimination and apartheid.
