The Stockholm International Forum on Holocaust Education, Remembrance and Research, held in January 2000, was the first international conference since the end of the Second World War to focus on promoting the memory of the Holocaust and other crimes against humanity. At the Forum a consensus emerged to follow up the results of the conference by further encouraging efforts to combat intolerance; racism, anti-Semitism and xenophobia. In response to that initiative, the government organised The Stockholm International Forum: Combating Intolerance in January 2001.
The aim of the conference was to give governments, the research community and the professional groups concerned the opportunity to exchange views and experiences on the subject of antidemocratic activities, and identify effective strategies for counteracting them. The conference discussed ways of reinforcing efforts to prevent the emergence of racist and antidemocratic ideas and combating them when they do arise.
The insights and experience gained from these conferences form the basis for a new conference, The Stockholm International Forum: Truth, Justice and Reconciliation, to be held in Stockholm on 23- 24 April 2002. The agenda for this conference will have a practical orientation aimed at contributing to achieve an exchange of experience between governments, individual experts, and local, national and international organisations in the fields of justice, education and the media.
