The Bahá’í International Community’s Statement addressed to the UN Commission on Human Rights
“Just as a fever is a symptom of disease in the body, racism is a symptom of disease in society. Suppressing the symptom does not cure the disease, but curing the disease eliminates the symptom. The disease from which society currently suffers is failure to recognize the principle of the oneness of humanity, and racism is but a symptom. If we wish to eliminate racism entirely, we must establish, as the moral foundation for society, the unshakable conviction of the oneness of the human race.”
—February 8th, 1989
