The International Conference to Review the Global Vision of the Holocaust was a two-day conference that opened on December 11, 2006, in Tehran, Iran. Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said the conference sought "neither to deny nor prove the Holocaust... () to provide an appropriate scientific atmosphere for scholars to offer their opinions in freedom about a historical issue."〔 Notable attendees included David Duke, Moshe Aryeh Friedman, Robert Faurisson, Gerald Fredrick Töben, Richard Krege, Michèle Renouf, Ahmed Rami and Yisroel Dovid Weiss of Neturei Karta. The conference was widely described as a "Holocaust denial conference" or a "meeting of Holocaust deniers".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Holocaust denial outrages Europe )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=canada.com - Canadian news, entertainment, television, newspapers, free email and more )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Holocaust deniers rebuked )〕〔http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20061213.wxholocaustprof13/BNStory/International/home〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Iran's great pretender )〕〔http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/la-ed-iran13dec13,0,2528243.story?coll=la-opinion-leftrail〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Zee News: Latest News Headlines, Current Live Breaking News from India & World )〕〔http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/World/2006/12/12/2769773-cp.html〕〔http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/world/4396632.html〕〔http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2006/12/12/europe/EU_GEN_Europe_Holocaust_Denial.php〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Holocaust deniers gather in Iran for 'scientific' conference )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Revisionist fringe gathers for Iran's Holocaust denial jamboree )〕〔http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=auGTWx2QrILM&refer=home〕〔http://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/11/world/middleeast/11cnd-iran.html?hp&ex=1165899600&en=89a54e1e0974643d&ei=5094&partner=homepage〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Top News, Latest headlines, Latest News, World News & U.S News - UPI.com )〕〔http://www.nydailynews.com/news/col/story/479561p-403476c.html〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Columnists - Opinion - Toronto Sun )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Swedish teacher at Holocaust denial conference )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Iran Further Isolates Itself with 'Holocaust Denial' )〕〔http://www.cair.com/default.asp?Page=articleView&id=2452&theType=NR〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Briefing Room - The White House )〕〔In December 2006, a major international conference was convened in Tehran, Iran, to promote Holocaust denial."

Bush called it an "affront to the entire civilized world," and British Prime Minister Tony Blair described it as "shocking beyond belief."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Comment is free - The Guardian )〕 Holocaust historians attending a separate conference in Berlin organized in protest against the Iranian one called it "an attempt to cloak anti-Semitism in scholarly language."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Conference in Iran on Holocaust begins )〕 ==Goals== According to the Iranian Foreign Ministry, the conference would not aim to deny or prove the Holocaust,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Iran hosts Holocaust conference (Al Jazeera) )〕 but to create opportunities "for suitable scientific research so that the hidden and unhidden angles of this most important political issue of the 20th century becomes more transparent." The event was organized by the ministry's Institute for Political & International Studies] (IPIS).〔http://www.ipis.ir/english/〕 The goal of the conference was to discuss the reality of the Nazis' extermination of Jews during World War II.〔 The Foreign Minister of Iran and other officials stated that the conference was meant to "create an opportunity for thinkers who cannot express their views freely in Europe about the Holocaust". According to the Iranian Foreign Minister: "If the official version of the Holocaust is thrown into doubt, then the identity and nature of Israel will be thrown into doubt. And if, during this review, it is proved that the Holocaust was a historical reality, then what is the reason for the Palestinians having to pay the cost of the Nazis' crimes?"〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「International Conference to Review the Global Vision of the Holocaust」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
