Diplomats have agreed that Geneva will host a second UN anti-racism conference, also known as Durban II, after months of wrangling over the venue. 
The meeting will be the follow-up to a 2001 conference in the South African city that descended into turmoil and prompted a walkout by the United States and Israel. 
Pro-Israel advocates have urged the US to follow Canada's lead in boycotting the second conference. 
Officials at the UN's European headquarters said Monday the meeting will take place April 20-25 next year.
