Message of the Secretary General United Nations

• I call on all people, especially political,
  civic and religious leaders, to strongly condemn
  messages and ideas based on racism, racial
  superiority or hatred as well as those that
  incite racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia
  and related intolerance. On this Day, let us
  acknowledge that racial discrimination remains a
  dangerous threat and resolve to tackle it through
  dialogue inspired by the proven ability of
  individuals to respect, protect and defend our
  rich diversity as one human family.
