Federal Decree 4,228 created a National Programme of Affirmative Actions within the federal public administration. It directed federal agencies to promote participation by groups facing discrimination in public employment and other areas. The decree reflected pressure from Black movements and the influence of international anti-racism commitments. Its provisions were not a comprehensive statutory quota system and implementation was limited; its significance lies partly in making affirmative action an explicit federal policy instrument before later nationwide legislation.
