Twenty-five years later, we are witnessing a worldwide surge of antisemitic violence – both verbal and physical – backed by accusations of genocide and apartheid made at Durban I. Help prevent yet another notorious Durban conference excoriating the Jewish state and promoting Jew hatred!
The United Nations, at a General Assembly meeting in New York on Sept. 28, 2026, will celebrate the 25th anniversary of a notorious anti-Israel and antisemitic hate fest.
The so-called World Conference against Racism (WCAR), also known as Durban I, was held at the Durban International Convention Centre in Durban, South Africa, under UN auspices, from Aug. 31 to Sept. 8, 2001.
At the 2001 conference, as noted by UN Watch, a non-governmental organization based in Geneva, Switzerland, whose mandate is to monitor the performance of the United Nations by the yardstick of its own Charter, “PLO chairman Yasser Arafat told conference delegates of the ‘ugliness’ of ‘Israeli racist policies and practices against the Palestinian people.’ Cuban dictator Fidel Castro spoke of ‘the dreadful genocide perpetrated, at this very moment, against our Palestinian brothers.’”
“The lead-up to the 2001 Durban Conference paved the way for today’s antisemitic blood libels, producing one of the most scurrilous documents relating to Israel and the Jewish people to appear since World War II,” UN Watch declared.
“Now, 25 years later, we are witnessing a worldwide surge of antisemitic violence – both verbal and physical – along with the accusations of ‘genocide’ and ‘apartheid.'”
According to UN Watch, “Unless that meeting officially and expressly renounces the elements of the Durban Declaration that single out and demonize Israel, as well as the extreme antisemitic events that took place in the lead-up to and surrounding the Durban conference, all governments should refuse to participate or otherwise legitimize the UN’s ‘Durban 25’ meeting.”
Please add your name to the UN Watch petition addressed to U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, British Prime Minister Andy Burnham, French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, and EU President Ursula von der Leyen.
