United Nations, 15 April 2009 - Daily Briefing by the Office of the Spokesperson for the Secretary General. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay today welcomed the release of a revised draft outcome document for next weeks anti-racism Durban Review Conference. The new text has been presented to States currently participating in the Conferences final Preparatory Committee meeting.
Addressing that meeting today, Pillay urged delegates to transcend their differences and find consensus. She also told them that the future and hope of countless victims of racism rest in their hands.
The new 17-page document is a revision of the rolling text that was published last month by the working group charged with negotiating the Conferences outcome. The chair of that working group has expressed hope that the new version, based on extensive consultations with States, will meet the concerns of all delegations and can be adopted by consensus.
