Human rights-based approaches, gender perspectives and initiatives to combat racial discrimination have been mainstreamed in United Nations institutions and activities. Initiatives to combat racial discrimination, for example, have, for decades, been a major area of focus institutionally and have taken the shape of numerous steps and initiatives – including through the first Decade for Action to Combat Racism and Racial Discrimination (1973– 1982), which became the framework for initiatives at the United Nations, leading also to the first World Conference against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance, with an accompanying programme of action, in 1978 – to promote implementation of the international legal instruments tackling racism and racial discrimination. A second conference took place in 1983. Central to United Nations work and involvement in combating racial discrimination has, of course, been the 2001 World Conference against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance (Durban Conference), resulting in the Declaration and Programme of Action, which are considered as a historic, near-universal consensus on a blueprint for implementing human rights commitments in pursuit of the total elimination of racism, racial discrimination, 9
