Scope and content
The Special Committee against Apartheid held a special solemn meeting this morning in observance of the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. All Permanent Missions had been invited to attend the meeting, along with representatives of non-Member States, the specialized agencies and other organizations in the UN family, and the two Southern African movements - the African National Congress of South Africa (ANC) and the Panafricanist Congress of Azania (PAC). The General-Assembly decided in 1966 to proclaim the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination in order to commemorate the incident at Sharpeville, South Africa, on 21 March 1960 in which 69 demonstrators against pass laws under the apartheid system were shot killed and 180 others wounded.
A general view of the Special Committee against Apartheid as it commemorated the International Day for Elimination of Racial Discrimination.
