World conference against racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance : [The Durban] Declaration and programme of action

Abstract

The conference adopted by consensus a declaration and a program of action that commits member states to undertake a wide range of measures to combat racism and discrimination at the international, regional and national levels. The two documents represent an important achievement; one of which should be built upon, particularly in terms of follow-up and action taken by states to ensure implementation of the declaration and the program of action as well as to ensure the effective continuation of the battle against racism.
