| 2003 OSCE Conference on Racism, Xenophobia and Discrimination |
|
The Conference on Racism, Xenophobia and Discrimination, which was held in Vienna, Austria, Sept. 4-5, 2003, was a result of the resolution that the OSCE resolved in December 2002 to convene a conference to address shared concerns on racism, xenophobia and discrimination in Europe, Eurasia and North America, and the role of governments and civil society in promoting greater tolerance and equality.

J. C. Watts, former Oklahoma Congressman, led the U.S. delegation to the OSCE Conference on Racism, Xenophobia and Discrimination. He was chosen to represent the United States in recognition of his strong leadership in combating racism and discrimination as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives.
