Thirty-ninth session (1991)*
General recommendation X concerning technical assistance
The Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination,
Taking note of the recommendation of the third meeting of persons chairing the human rights
treaty bodies, as endorsed by the General Assembly at its forty-fifth session, to the effect that a series
of seminars or workshops should be organized at the national level for the purpose of training those
involved in the preparation of State party reports,
Concerned over the continued failure of certain States parties to the International Convention
on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination to meet their reporting obligations under the
Convention,
Believing that training courses and workshops organized on the national level might prove of
immeasurable assistance to officials responsible for the preparation of such State party reports,
1.
Requests the Secretary-General to organize, in consultation with the States parties
concerned, appropriate national training courses and workshops for their reporting officials as soon as
practicable;
2.
Recommends that the services of the staff of the Centre for Human Rights as well as
of the experts of the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination should be utilized, as
appropriate, in the conduct of such training courses and workshops.
