A/HRC/6/10 page 15 63. One delegate expressed his concerns with regards to the section in the study on internally displaced persons. He noted that the guidelines on internally displaced persons mentioned in the text were not binding and the conclusion that an increasing number of States apply them was not convincing; therefore it needed reference. The delegate pointed out that the primary responsibility of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees was refugees, while States should take care of problems related to internally displaced persons. Several delegates expressed their support for a strong emphasis on implementation, while several others highlighted the need for complementary standards. 64. Several delegates requested clarification on the experts’ recommendation for a convention on human rights education. The questions raised were about the possible content of such a convention and which body would take the lead in drafting it, and whether the elaboration should be entrusted to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) or to the Human Rights Council. 65. Another delegate pointed out that a distinction should be made between racial discrimination and discrimination in general. The same delegate warned that a specific group of countries would not support any reference to sexual orientation, gender and disabilities in Durban follow-up work as they were not considered in the context of racial discrimination and the framework of the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action. 66. One delegate underlined that statements suggesting that there were no substantive gaps and no need for complementary standards were not consistent with the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action, as such a request was made in the document. With regards to the arguments of implementation and application of international norms, the delegate proposed to include the implementation of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination as an item in the agenda of the Working Group. 67. One delegate noted that many of the issues analysed in the study were substantive and constituted parts of the mandates of other existing mechanisms within the United Nations system, and that the study should have dealt exclusively with racism and racial discrimination. Discrimination on the basis of descent and issues connected with a caste system were therefore inconsistent with racism and racial discrimination and that they were not contained in the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action. 68. One delegate supported the findings in the study, especially the section on the positive obligations of States, but cautioned that a gradual approach was needed. The delegate also agreed with the finding that human rights and humanitarian law were not mutually exclusive and that the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination needed to look further into multiple forms of discrimination. 69. One delegate asserted that there was a contradiction in interpretation regarding the scope of protection of existing treaty bodies and that some of the comments and recommendations in the study went beyond the mandate of those treaty bodies. The delegate recommended that there should be new complementary standards, not simply further elaboration of recommendations by treaty bodies.
