A/CONF.189/PC.2/22 page 51 129 A UNICEF report cites the case of an Italian teacher who had a pupil of Pakistani origin and who tried an intercultural approach by highlighting Pakistani culture in every class. The approach failed as the child felt that he was being put on show, saying, “I’m sick of being Pakistani, I just want to be a child” (quoted in A/CONF.189/PC.1/11 (note 97), para. 34, note 41). 130 See also, particularly in the context of education, article 26, paragraph 2, of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, article 13, paragraph 1, of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, article 29, paragraph 1 (b), of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, and article 5, paragraph 1 (a), of the 1960 UNESCO Convention. 131 “Study on the implementation of article 7 of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination”, op. cit. (note 2), para. 54. 132 See Commission on Human Rights resolution 1999/64, entitled “United Nations Decade for Human Rights Education”. 133 Elizabeth Odio Benito, Elimination of All Forms of Intolerance and Discrimination Based on Religion or Belief, Geneva and New York, United Nations, 1989 (Human Rights Study Series, No. 2 (revised version of document E/CN.4/Sub.2/1987/26), United Nations publication, Sales No. 89.XIV.3). 134 It may be observed, for example, that the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, in its General Comment No. 13, systematically refers to numerous international instruments of very unequal legal force (E/C.12/1999/10). 135 Including the procedure for communications from individuals, groups of individuals or non-governmental organizations known as “procedure 104 EX/3.3”. 136 As at 31 January 1999, 12 States were parties to this Convention, whereas 20 ratifications are necessary for its entry into force. This Convention provides for the right of access to public education (art. 30) and respect for the cultural identity of migrant workers (art. 31). 137 As the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination does when considering reports from States: it asks questions about the number of pupils in secondary education, the content of primary school curricula, the rate of illiteracy among the adult population, whether minorities are able to study their own language and the majority language, etc. 138 In its decision 2 (XIX), the Committee invited UNESCO “to transmit to the Committee periodically information on the experience gained by it in the fields of teaching, education … with a view to combating prejudices which lead to racial discrimination and to promoting understanding, tolerance and friendship among nations and racial or ethnic groups, as specified in article 7 of the Convention” (para. 3); see the report of the Committee on its two sessions in 1979 (A/34/18), chap. VIII, sect. A.
