The next General. Assembly, to open here. September 19, was called upon here today to take measures against racial intolerance and to condemn “any ideology, including Nazism, which is based on racial intolerance and terror.”

The requests were made by the Commission on Human Rights and one of its principal subsidiaries, the Subcommission on Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities. The two groups also asked the Assembly to call on all states “to take immediate and effective measures against any such manifestations as Nazism and racial intolerance.”

In a review of recent developments in its field of concern, the Commission reported that, as of May 11, 1967, 58 governments had signed, and 12 states had ratified the International Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Racial Intolerance.
