Editor's Note: In June 2010 the Human Rights Council decided to "commemorate" the tenth anniversary of the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action (DDPA) at its seventeenth session and to "dedicate two working days of the eighth session of the Intergovernmental Working Group to prepare for the commemoration of the tenth anniversary of the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action."
The DDPA, which was was adopted in 2001 after Israel and the United States walked out of the conference, singles out only Israel and charges it with racism.
