The Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination considered the report submitted by the Government of [Barbados] at its [204^th] meeting ([tenth] session), held on [14 August] 1974, without the benefit of the participation of a representative of the Government of [Barbados].

The views expressed by members of the Committee during the discussion, and the decision adopted by the Committee, may be found in the summary records of the meeting (document CERD/C/SR.[204], to be sent as soon as the final version is available) and will also be reflected in the fifth annual report, which will be submitted by the Committee to the General Assembly at its twenty-ninth session.

The Committee hopes that the views and decision in question, as well as the documents included in CERD/C/R.60 and Add.1, will be taken into account by the Government of [Barbados] during the preparation of its next report in accordance with article 9, paragraph 1, of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination.
