The 1978 World Conference Against Racism was held in [[Geneva]], Switzerland. A major focus on the conference was South Africa's [[apartheid]] policies of [[racial segregation]] and discrimination. This included condemnation of [[Israel–South Africa relations]] (in particular economic and military cooperation), a request that the [[United Nations Security Council]] consider "imposition of comprehensive and mandatory sanctions" on South Africa and other "racist regimes of southern Africa", and other criticism of apartheid in South Africa.<ref>{{cite report |date=1979 |title=Report of the World Conference to Combat Racism and Racial Discrimination |url=https://documents-dds-ny.un.org/doc/UNDOC/GEN/N79/055/79/PDF/N7905579.pdf?OpenElement |publisher=[[United Nations]] |pages=10-13, 20-21, 27, 30, 39, 41, 43, 45-46, 49, 55-56, 59, 62, 65, 69-71, 81-84, 87, 89, 90, 98-101, 104, 107, 110-112, 115, 118-122, 125, 127, 130 |docket=A/CONF.92/40 |access-date=April 28, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230428141142/https://documents-dds-ny.un.org/doc/UNDOC/GEN/N79/055/79/PDF/N7905579.pdf?OpenElement |archive-date=April 28, 2023 |url-status=live}}</ref> There was also a declaration and program of action which resulted from the conference which condemned [[racial superiority]], racism, and racial discrimination, and called for educational resources to promote "mutual understanding between all human beings and demonstrate...the...basis of ethnic and racial equality", among other statements.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.un.org/en/conferences/racism/geneva1978|title=World Conference to Combat Racism and Racial Discrimination 14-25 August 1978, Geneva|website=[[United Nations]]|access-date=April 28, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230428141113/https://www.un.org/en/conferences/racism/geneva1978|archive-date=April 28, 2023|url-status=live}}</ref>
