在1969年的今天，一项具有重大历史意义的国际公约——《消除一切形式种族歧视国际公约》正式生效。该公约是联合国在1965年12月21日通过的第2106A号决议，旨在消除全球范围内的种族歧视现象。
公约共有25条，对“种族歧视”进行了明确的定义，即“基于种族、肤色、世系或民族或人种的任何区别、排斥、限制或优惠，其目的或效果为取消或损害另一人的权益”。这一界定凸显了种族歧视的广泛性和严重性，以及消除这种歧视的紧迫性。
自公约生效以来，各国政府在反对种族歧视、促进种族平等方面取得了一定的成果。然而，种族歧视问题仍然存在于世界各地，不少国家和地区仍然存在着不同程度的种族歧视现象。因此，纪念这个特殊的日子，提醒我们继续努力，践行公约的精神，为实现全球种族平等和消除种族歧视而共同努力。

On this day in 1969, an internationally significant convention, the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, officially entered into force. The convention was passed by the United Nations on December 21, 1965, as Resolution 2106A, aiming to eliminate racial discrimination worldwide.
The convention consists of 25 articles, which explicitly define “racial discrimination” as “any distinction, exclusion, restriction, or preference based on race, color, descent, or national or ethnic origin, which has the purpose or effect of nullifying or impairing the recognition, enjoyment, or exercise of any human rights or fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural, or any other field of public life”. This definition highlights the breadth and severity of racial discrimination and the urgency of addressing it.
Since the convention entered into force, governments around the world have made certain achievements in opposing racial discrimination and promoting racial equality. However, racial discrimination remains a persistent problem in many countries and regions, with varying degrees of severity. Therefore, commemorating this special day serves as a reminder of the continued efforts needed to uphold the spirit of the convention and work together towards global racial equality and the elimination of racial discrimination.
