The summit, organized by a coalition of human rights, anti-racism and pro-democracy activists, refers to itself as a parallel event to the Durban conference of governments, which will evaluate progress in achieving goals set by the first world conference against racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance, in Durban, South Africa, in 2001.
