Summary
The General Assembly resolution of 16 December 1991, adopted at the 74th plenary meeting under the heading Elimination of racism and racial discrimination, whose whole text is a single sentence deciding to revoke the determination contained in resolution 3379 (XXX) of 10 November 1975 (Resolution 46/86: Elimination of racism and racial discrimination (16 December 1991), PDF p.1).
Details
- The resolution has no preamble, no second operative paragraph and no vote figure in the printed text; it identifies the determination it revokes only by resolution number and date, without restating it (Resolution 46/86: Elimination of racism and racial discrimination (16 December 1991), PDF p.1).
- The determination revoked is the one stated in UN General Assembly Resolution 3379 itself: that zionism is a form of racism and racial discrimination (Resolution 3379 (XXX): Elimination of all forms of racial discrimination (10 November 1975), PDF p.1-2).
- Secondary sources in the wiki record the revocation as a precondition set by Israel for its participation in the Madrid Conference, and 3379 as the only General Assembly resolution formally revoked; resolution 46/86’s own text mentions neither Madrid nor any condition (Zionist Colonialism in Palestine, PDF p.1 / printed p.206; A Shadow over Palestine, lines 353-357).
