SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) The United States is opposed to racism, ra-
cial discrimination, xenophobia, and related intoler-
ance, and has long been a party to the Convention 
on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. 
(2) Expensive and politically skewed inter-
national conferences can disserve and undermine the 
worthy goals that they are ostensibly convened to 
support. 
(3) The goals of the 2001 United Nations 
World Conference Against Racism—held in Durban, 
South Africa, and commonly referred to as the 
‘‘Durban Conference’’—were undermined by hateful, 
anti-Jewish rhetoric and anti-Israel political agen-
das, prompting both Israel and the United States to 
withdraw their delegations from the Conference. 
(4) The official government declaration adopted 
by the World Conference Against Racism, the ‘‘Dur-
ban Declaration and Program of Action’’, focused on 
the ‘‘plight of the Palestinian people under foreign 
occupation’’, and thereby singled out one regional 
conflict for discussion and implicitly launched a false 
accusation against Israel of racism towards the Pal-
estinians.
