Urge the Europeans to vote against the Durban III conference

The United Nations is scheduled to vote this week on holding a 'Durban III' conference in September 2011, and the Europeans need a little bit of a push to vote no.

Urge European Union states to oppose the U.N.’s plan for a “Durban 3” summit of world leaders, to be held on September 21, 2011 in New York. The event would celebrate the 10th anniversary of the 2001 Durban conference on racism—a gathering that was hijacked by dictators and their allies, and which ended up promoting anti-Semitism and scapegoating America, the West, and Israel as racists. The U.S., Canada and Australia will oppose the resolution. But the E.U.’s vote, which is crucial, is still undecided. Urge France, Germany, the U.K., and other countries not to bestow the appearance of moral authority on an event that will give a dangerous platform to racist murders like Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Libyan dictator Moammar Qaddafi.
