🇺🇸🇺🇳🇿🇦 The United States is distancing itself from commemorations to mark the 25th anniversary of the The Durban Declaration and Programme of Action (DDPA) - "the UN’s blueprint to combat racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance globally". The 25th anniversary will be observed at UNHQ on September 28th.

U.S. Mission to the UN: "The Durban conference was an utter failure. Worse, it platformed and promoted antisemitism, anti-capitalism, anti-Westernism and anti-Americanism. The UN continues to poison its brand by commemorating Durban.

President Trump has made clear: America will not apologize for being America.

Twenty-five years on, the world has seen where Durban's ideology leads: racism, ideological litmus tests, discrimination, and on and on. It is well past time to burn and bury Durban’s stained legacy."
