UN renews anti-racism push with new declaration, 25 years after Durban

UN member states adopted a new declaration recommitting to combat racism, discrimination, and xenophobia, marking the 25th anniversary of the Durban Declaration. The declaration is non-binding and follows years of stalled progress, with the US and other countries having previously withdrawn from the Durban process. The initiative signals renewed multilateral focus on racial equality but lacks concrete enforcement mechanisms.
