The European states are objecting to these demands, which are even stronger than those agreed upon in preparatory meetings before the conference. The West is nervous that apologizing for slavery could make it vulnerable to endless financial and legal demands, and the United States strongly opposed discussing possible reparations here before the conference began. Some advocates here said the issue of slavery and reparations is far more central to the conference and its outcome than the distracting brouhaha over Middle East politics since the meeting began last Friday. They also said that the United States and some European states were far more worried about the repercussions of this issue, which has never before been raised in such a global forum. washingtonpost.com "Show me the Money"...looks like that is all Durban is about anyway :(
