Durban Review Conference, 20-24 April 2009

Durban Review Conference logo

The 2009 Durban Review Conference logoThe 2009 Durban Review Conference logo is based on that of the 2001 World Conference against Racism, which was an artistic interpretation of the "Yin Yang" traditional Chinese black and white symbol representing the two opposing but complementing fundamental forces of life. The multiple shades of gray and artistic movement emphasize the diverse geographic, cultural and racial origins of human beings.

The updated logo aims to convey the message that not only is the Review Conference a look back at what has been accomplished since 2001, but also a new way forward. The logo design may be accompanied by the slogan “United against Racism: Dignity and Justice for All.”
