UN -Secretary-General deplores any conference that would question reality of Holocaust

United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan came out strongly against any effort to question or deny the Holocaust against the background of the conference to be held in Iran next week. Annan’s spokesman said that ”The Secretary-General personally believes that any attempt to cast doubt on the reality of this unique and undeniable horror must be firmly resisted by all people of goodwill and of whatever faith. He would deeply deplore any conference whose purpose is to question or deny the reality of the Holocaust. Only a year ago the General Assembly passed a resolution which ‘rejects any denial of the Holocaust as an historical event, either in full or part.
