More Countries Join US, Israel Boycott of UN Racism Conference
A growing number of Western countries are joining the United States and Israel in boycotting the United Nations World Conference on Racism, which opened today in Geneva, Switzerland. Australia, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and New Zealand all announced they would boycott the conference soon after the US announced its formal decision not to attend Saturday. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told the opening session he was "profoundly disappointed" at the boycotts. We go to Geneva to get the latest. Ref. Source 9
