Breaking with Racial Discrimination, Slavery, and Colonialism 2001
To address ethnic and regional conflicts that were intensifying after the end of the Cold war, a world conference was held in Durban, South Africa, which had become a democratic nation after overcoming apartheid. This was the first international conference where earnest discussions were held on various forms of injustice, including slavery and imperialism. Participants confirmed the presence of past problems that were yet to be settled. Lively discussions were held concerning discrimination based on occupation and parentage, including the problems of discriminated communities such as the Buraku in Japan, and Dalits, people belonging to the lowest stratum of the castes of South Asia.
