Examples of Durban in a Sentence

1. Stephane Dujarric:

   The Durban deceit, the double-talk, the double standards – and, in particular, the discrimination – need to be exposed and rejected, period. for the secretary-general it is clear that racism and racial discrimination still permeate institutions, social structures and everyday life in every society.
