World Conference against Racism 2001
Durban Strategy is a term used by critics of the 2001 World Conference against Racism to describe the comparison of the State of Israel to apartheid South Africa. Critics claim that this comparison was made with the intention of causing and encouraging divestment from and boycott of Israel. [1]
The name is derived from Durban, South Africa, where the World Conference against Racism took place in 2001. NGOs adopted a declaration which condemned what they termed Israel's "brand of apartheid and other racist crimes against humanity...including war crimes, acts of genocide and ethnic cleansing." [2][3]
