A/HRC/25/69 importance of school programmes and curriculum to prepare young people for adopting a responsible attitude. He highlighted the role of UNESCO in this regard. 75. Mr. Salama replied that it was perplexing how the discussion remained mired in ideology. He agreed that more had to be done with regard to education, which also included religious authorities and leaders who need to educate and raise awareness of their constituents and followers. He underscored that training and capacity building, in this regard, could also prove difficult. 76. With regard to some questions, Ms. Davis Lake clarified that during the preparatory work for the OAS Convention, there were two schools of thought on the issue of race: one that stated that there is one human race and the other which stated that there were many races, and that all are equal. The compromise was to include a definition of racism that satisfied both constituencies. 77. The delegate of Ghana raised a question with regard to the presence or lack of definition of ethnic cleansing in the OAS Conventions. The delegate of the United States of America noted with interest that there was one treaty body for the implementation of the two OAS instruments. 78. Ms. Davis Lake said that the idea of one monitoring body for the two OAS conventions was due to the fact that initially the negotiations started with one instrument, and that in effect it was advisable to have only one monitoring body for financial reasons. She noted that OAS did not elaborate a definition on ethnic cleansing. There is not yet an educational and awareness-raising programme for schools, as the Conventions had only been signed two months ago. 79. Brazil explained that all States Parties could have a representative on the envisaged monitoring body. If a given State did not recognize the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, they could still participate through the Conventions. 34
