Initiated in 2001, this conference which strongly supported by United Nation was established to against racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance. The first conference that held in South Africa has contributed to 2001 Durban Declaration. The 61 pages document loaded with 219 statements or declaration which covered wide range of issues and problems globally was due to reaffirming in the 2nd conference schedule from 20-24 April 2009. Unfortunately because of unsuccessfully pushing for changes to the wording of a draft declaration upholding anti-Semitic remarks, super power such as America, Israel, Canada, Italy, Netherland and even Australia decide to boycott the conference this time. Just because of very little portion of the anti-Semitic remarks these ‘big brothers’ showing their childishness demanding their little brothers to make them happier. Indeed, if they really committed to agenda of anti racism and things related to that philosophy, why must there should be special exemption to one or two racist government, institution, ethnic or nation. If Ahmadnijed is so willing to attend despite knowing strong criticism will be bombarded to him, why these ‘big brother’ can’t be gentleman? What the shame those countries boycott this significant conference…
