c. Third Decade to Combat Racism and Racial Discrimination
By its resolution 48/91 of 20 December 1993, the General Assembly pro- claimed the Third Decade to Combat Racism and Racial Discrimination, beginning in 1993, and adopted the Programme of Action proposed for the Decade. The ultimate goals of  the Decade are:
• to promote human rights and fundamental freedoms for all, without dis- tinction of any kind on grounds of race, colour, descent or national or ethnic origin, with particular emphasis on eradicating racial prejudice, racism and racial discrimination;
• to arrest any expansion of racist policies, to eliminate the persistence of racist policies and to counteract the emergence of alliances based on the mutual espousal of  racism and racial discrimination;
• to resist any policy and practices which lead to the strengthening of racist regimes and contribute to sustaining racism and racial discrimination;
