Summary:

"This book unveils the details of the processes and deliberations that culminated in the consensual global commitment to decisively confront racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and other forms of intolerance. It settles the pre-conceived and prejudicial controversies raised against the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action. High level delegates and leaders of structures of the conference address the development of the vision of nations for racial justice, building the structures of dialogue towards and during the third world conference against racism, choosing the leadership of the conference, consensus building especially on the so-called difficult issues, the role of championing states such as South Africa (host and then symbol of victory against racism) and Brazil (home to the largest population of people of African heritage outside Africa), and the legacy of the conference and outcome document. It reminds humanity of the merits and nobility of its Durban resolve, based on undertakings in Geneva, Strasbourg, Santiago de Chile, Dakar, and Teheran, under the auspices of the United Nations, and the significance of standing by it"-- Springer Nature Link
