76. At its fifty-eighth session in March 2001, the Committee developed a number of targeted written contributions in the form of suggested amendments to the secretariat’s draft declaration and programme of action of February 2001. The suggested amendments were discussed in private meetings arranged in March 2001 with the coordinators of the five regional groups, along with the Chairperson of the Bureau of the Preparatory Committee for the World Conference. Among the priority areas highlighted by the Committee were: (a) The need to reinforce the importance of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination for the fulfilment of the World Conference’s purposes, including: harmonization of national laws with the Convention; the adoption of action programmes as a long-term mechanism to resolve inequalities; reinforcing the relevance of General recommendation XVII concerning discrimination against the Roma; the consistency of remedies and compensatory mechanisms with article 6 of the Convention, and a variety of measures at the international level focused upon reporting and individual complaints under the Convention and the need to review reservations; (b) The need for further resources and support and certain procedural innovations to assist the Committee in discharging its functions in the context of conflict prevention and more generally; (c) The relevance of cognate international conventions concerning the rights of migrants, refugees and minorities, and the establishment of a United Nations inter-agency task force on racism, focusing on mainstreaming a programme of action against racism throughout the United Nations system.
