6/23. Preparations for the Durban Review Conference
The Human Rights Council,
Welcoming General Assembly resolution 61/149 of 19 December 2006, by which the
Assembly convened the Durban Review Conference in 2009,
Recalling its resolution 3/2 of 8 December 2006 by which the Council contextualized,
clarified and elaborated on several preparatory processes for the Durban Review Conference, in
accordance with the established practice of the General Assembly,
Welcoming the convening of the first session (organizational session) of the Preparatory
Committee for the Durban Review Conference held in Geneva from 27 to 31 August 2007
and, in this regard, looking forward to the two substantive sessions of the Preparatory
Committee tentatively scheduled to be held in Geneva from 21 April to 2 May 2008 and
6 to 17 October 2008, respectively,
Noting with deep regret, in the above context, the non-participation of all relevant
non-governmental organizations, including the victims of racism, racial discrimination,
xenophobia and related intolerance, and also regretting the fact that not all these entities were
able to contribute to the Preparatory Committee’s dialogue on the “Objectives of the Review
Conference”,
