U.S. Statement as delivered by Jason Mack

Human Rights Council 36th Session
Geneva, September 29, 2017 

Thank you Mr. President.

The United States remains fully and firmly committed to combating racism, racial discrimination, and related forms of intolerance.  We regret that, for well-known reasons related to our concerns about the Durban Declaration and Program of Action and the World Conference Against Racism, we must dissociate from consensus.

Thank you.
