- Recommendation
Within the framework of the pertinent mechanisms and instruments, Italy strongly reiterates its continued commitment to actively contribute to the eradication of any forms of racism, in particular against vulnerable groups. However, it should be recalled that together with other countries, Italy decided not to participate in the 2009 Durban Review Conference and therefore is not in a position to adopt or endorse its Outcome Document.
