A fact from Durban III appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 5 December 2010 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Canada has vowed to boycott the United Nations Durban III conference, calling it a "charade" and a "hatefest"?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2010/December.

NPOV tag

I have tagged the article because:

It includes only criticisms of Durban III. There must be people, groups, countries that view the event positively, as its attended by representatives from most of the world.
An article on an international conference should not focus almost exclusively on North American views. Where are the views of the rest of the world? Tiamut^talk 20:33, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I included everything I could find in the mainstream, English-language media that pertains to this conference. If you look and can show me mainstream sources presenting these alternative views that "must" exist, you can put the tag back. Or better yet, just add those views yourself. Jalapenos do exist (talk) 21:40, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It is Canada-centric at the moment - but why not contribute these alternative views yourself? 203.15.226.132 (talk) 04:18, 5 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've just re-added the tag. This article presents a very one-sided view of this and the previous Durban conferences. Nick-D (talk) 04:44, 5 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

But is there another side to the Durban conferences? You don't mention any. Ampwright (talk) 05:03, 5 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Given that the conference attracted majority support when it was voted on by UN members, it obviously has its supporters. Nick-D (talk) 05:09, 5 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fine, you hypothesize that there must be supporters. Show us the links. Yaush (talk) 05:54, 5 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This article, which is currently being used as a source in the article, states that it was approved by a UN committee and is likely to win the support of a majority of countries when its voted in in the UN General Assembly (I struggle to regard the New York Sun as a reliable source though). Nick-D (talk) 06:13, 5 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This article (another of the article's sources) says that it was approved by the General Assembly and this article (again another of the article's sources, though it seems to be more opinion than the 'news' category its filed under on its website) claims that 121 countries voted in favour of holding the conference, 19 voted to oppose it and 35 abstained.
