2024<\/p>\n<p>Concerned states, special envoys, national coordinators, and representatives tasked by their governments to counter antisemitism, in cooperation with international bodies, offer the following best practices, which have proven to be effective guidelines in formulating public policy.<\/p>\n<p>These legally non-binding guidelines, adopted in Buenos Aires, Argentina, include policies to monitor and combat antisemitism that can be implemented and adapted to a wide variety of national, regional, and cultural contexts.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>We urge all states and international bodies, as well as civil society, to embrace and use these practices, many of which already form the basis of regional and country-based action plans. These guidelines can be applied everywhere, not only in societies with Jewish communities.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3><span  class='av_font_icon av-193h0q-e6817470fb58790feca87bd2abc044b0 avia_animate_when_visible av-icon-style- avia-icon-pos-left avia-iconfont avia-font-entypo-fontello av-no-color avia-icon-animate'><span class='av-icon-char' data-av_icon='\ue812' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' aria-hidden=\"true\" ><\/span><\/span> SPEAK OUT<\/h3>\n<p>\u2013 Governments and political leaders should denounce antisemitism swiftly, clearly, and unequivocally, whenever and wherever it occurs.

This should be done in consultation with Jewish communities, civil society, field researchers, and other relevant stakeholders. Such policies should be assessed periodically and updated as needed.<\/p>\n<h3><span  class='av_font_icon av-193h0q-e6817470fb58790feca87bd2abc044b0 avia_animate_when_visible av-icon-style- avia-icon-pos-left avia-iconfont avia-font-entypo-fontello av-no-color avia-icon-animate'><span class='av-icon-char' data-av_icon='\ue812' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' aria-hidden=\"true\" ><\/span><\/span> APPOINT and EMPOWER<\/h3>\n<p>\u2013 Governments and international bodies should consider appointing national coordinators, special envoys, or designated officials. Such officials can proactively address antisemitism as a cross-cutting public policy challenge and should be provided with the necessary authority, empowerment, and resources to be effective.<\/p>\n<h3><span  class='av_font_icon av-193h0q-e6817470fb58790feca87bd2abc044b0 avia_animate_when_visible av-icon-style- avia-icon-pos-left avia-iconfont avia-font-entypo-fontello av-no-color avia-icon-animate'><span class='av-icon-char' data-av_icon='\ue812' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' aria-hidden=\"true\" ><\/span><\/span> UNDERSTAND and DEFINE<\/h3>\n<p>\u2013 In order to combat antisemitism, governments need tools to understand its various manifestations. The legally non-binding \u201cInternational Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Working Definition of Antisemitism\u201d is an important internationally recognized instrument used by over 40 U.N. member states since its adoption in 2016. In addition, hundreds of sub-national public authorities, universities, sports bodies, NGOs, and corporations rely on it.<\/p>\n<h3><span  class='av_font_icon av-193h0q-e6817470fb58790feca87bd2abc044b0 avia_animate_when_visible av-icon-style- avia-icon-pos-left avia-iconfont avia-font-entypo-fontello av-no-color avia-icon-animate'><span class='av-icon-char' data-av_icon='\ue812' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' aria-hidden=\"true\" ><\/span><\/span> PROTECT<\/h3>\n<p>\u2013 There are few roles more central for governments than the security and welfare of their populations. Jewish communities are targets of physical threats and attacks from both foreign and domestic sources. Governments, working together with Jewish communities, should provide appropriate protection and security enhancements that safeguard and sustain Jewish communal life. Religious freedom and protection also encompass safeguarding unhindered religious practice.<\/p>\n<h3><span  class='av_font_icon av-193h0q-e6817470fb58790feca87bd2abc044b0 avia_animate_when_visible av-icon-style- avia-icon-pos-left avia-iconfont avia-font-entypo-fontello av-no-color avia-icon-animate'><span class='av-icon-char' data-av_icon='\ue812' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' aria-hidden=\"true\" ><\/span><\/span> COLLECT<\/h3>\n<p>\u2013 Policies should be in place to support the uniform collection of data documenting incidents of antisemitism as well as the perceptions of antisemitism among Jewish communities and the broader public. Such information, drawn from community-based sources, when possible, allows for evidence-based understanding of trends and sources.<\/p>\n<h3><span  class='av_font_icon av-193h0q-e6817470fb58790feca87bd2abc044b0 avia_animate_when_visible av-icon-style- avia-icon-pos-left avia-iconfont avia-font-entypo-fontello av-no-color avia-icon-animate'><span class='av-icon-char' data-av_icon='\ue812' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' aria-hidden=\"true\" ><\/span><\/span> ENFORCE<\/h3>\n<p>\u2013 Enforcement of hate crime and anti-discrimination laws is critical and should take place within legal frameworks that protect civil liberties and human rights, such as freedom of expression. Enforcement conveys the broader message that antisemitism is unacceptable, has consequences, and cannot be tolerated.<\/p>\n<h3><span  class='av_font_icon av-193h0q-e6817470fb58790feca87bd2abc044b0 avia_animate_when_visible av-icon-style- avia-icon-pos-left avia-iconfont avia-font-entypo-fontello av-no-color avia-icon-animate'><span class='av-icon-char' data-av_icon='\ue812' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' aria-hidden=\"true\" ><\/span><\/span> EDUCATE<\/h3>\n<p>\u2013 Education is vital for identifying and countering antisemitism, including Holocaust remembrance and countering Holocaust denial and distortion, an especially pernicious form of antisemitism. It has also proven effective in sensitizing law enforcement. Education about Jewish culture and contributions to society demystifies Jews and Judaism. Many countries and intergovernmental organizations have linked their efforts against antisemitism to broadening appreciation of Jewish heritage and fostering Jewish life.<\/p>\n<h3><span  class='av_font_icon av-193h0q-e6817470fb58790feca87bd2abc044b0 avia_animate_when_visible av-icon-style- avia-icon-pos-left avia-iconfont avia-font-entypo-fontello av-no-color avia-icon-animate'><span class='av-icon-char' data-av_icon='\ue812' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' aria-hidden=\"true\" ><\/span><\/span> CULTIVATE A WHOLE-OF-SOCIETY COMMITMENT<\/h3>\n<p>\u2013 Countering antisemitism requires a whole-of-society commitment that includes the active participation of civil society. Collaboration; bridge-building; nurturing trust among faith, civic, and cultural leaders; and fostering mutual understanding are essential, particularly since antisemitism is not solely a threat to Jews. It can endanger members of other minority groups, democratic values, and national security and stability.<\/p>\n<h3><span  class='av_font_icon av-193h0q-e6817470fb58790feca87bd2abc044b0 avia_animate_when_visible av-icon-style- avia-icon-pos-left avia-iconfont avia-font-entypo-fontello av-no-color avia-icon-animate'><span class='av-icon-char' data-av_icon='\ue812' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' aria-hidden=\"true\" ><\/span><\/span> ENGAGE SOCIAL MEDIA<\/h3>\n<p>\u2013 Antisemitism, like other forms of group hatred and disinformation, is widespread and mutating online. It has real world consequences and can lead to radicalization to violence. Stakeholders should oppose antisemitism online, stay educated on evolving trends, increase transparency about antisemitic content, assess impacts on vulnerable communities, and find solutions, within the context of existing legal frameworks.<\/p>\n<h3><span  class='av_font_icon av-193h0q-e6817470fb58790feca87bd2abc044b0 avia_animate_when_visible av-icon-style- avia-icon-pos-left avia-iconfont avia-font-entypo-fontello av-no-color avia-icon-animate'><span class='av-icon-char' data-av_icon='\ue812' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' aria-hidden=\"true\" ><\/span><\/span> STRENGTHEN INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATION<\/h3>\n<p>\u2013 Coalition-building and international cooperation are paramount to effectively monitor and counter antisemitism. In an interconnected world where hate respects no borders, transnational cooperation can identify threats, raise awareness, broaden the use of best practices, and more effectively and proactively coordinate responses.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lyrmxxpk-16860df486dccc24b4643d63b229e887\">\n.flex_column.av-lyrmxxpk-16860df486dccc24b4643d63b229e887{\nborder-radius:10px 10px 10px 10px;\npadding:10px 10px 10px 10px;\nbackground-color:#fff2d3;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-lyrmxxpk-16860df486dccc24b4643d63b229e887 av_one_fifth  avia-builder-el-19  el_after_av_four_fifth  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div  '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-lyrmwadp-4737767bcd5b5303038b572d29b98398 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>This decision is confirmed by the following countries:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>ARGENTINA<\/li>\n<li>AUSTRALIA<\/li>\n<li>AUSTRIA<\/li>\n<li>BELGIUM<\/li>\n<li>BULGARIA<\/li>\n<li>CZECH REPUBLIC<\/li>\n<li>ECUADOR<\/li>\n<li>ESTONIA<\/li>\n<li>FINLAND<\/li>\n<li>FRANCE<\/li>\n<li>GREECE<\/li>\n<li>NETHERLANDS<\/li>\n<li>CROATIA<\/li>\n<li>ITALY<\/li>\n<li>ISRAEL<\/li>\n<li>CANADA<\/li>\n<li>CYPRUS<\/li>\n<li>LITHUANIA<\/li>\n<li>LUXEMBOURG<\/li>\n<li>GERMANY<\/li>\n<li>NORWAY<\/li>\n<li>PARAGUAY<\/li>\n<li>POLAND<\/li>\n<li>PORTUGAL<\/li>\n<li>ROMANIA<\/li>\n<li>SLOVAKIA<\/li>\n<li>SLOVENIA<\/li>\n<li>SERBIA<\/li>\n<li>SPAIN<\/li>\n<li>SWEDEN<\/li>\n<li>UNITED KINGDOM<\/li>\n<li>UNITED STATES<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>and organizations:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION<\/li>\n<li>ORGANIZATION OF AMERICAN STATES<\/li>\n<li>OSCE &#8211; ORGANIZATION FOR SECURITY AND COOPERATION IN EUROPE<\/li>\n<li>EUROPEAN COUNCIL<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Global guidelines for combating anti-Semitism signed by representatives of 36 countries and organizations<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":814,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-761","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/P61QkC-ch","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/antisemitizam.rs\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/761","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/antisemitizam.rs\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/antisemitizam.rs\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/antisemitizam.rs\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/antisemitizam.rs\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=761"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/antisemitizam.rs\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/761\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":813,"href":"https:\/\/antisemitizam.rs\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/761\/revisions\/813"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/antisemitizam.rs\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/814"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/antisemitizam.rs\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=761"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
