Argentina becomes latest country to adopt International Definition of Antisemitism

Argentina has adopted the International Definition of Antisemitism.

Campaign Against Antisemitism applauds this decision at a time of rising antisemitism.

The decision was announced by Argentina’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which promised that the Definition will be used as “a tool to sanction and eliminate behaviors and attitudes based on hostility and prejudice, to reinforce prevention measures and to deepen the education of respect for pluralism.”

The UK was the first country in the world to adopt the International Definition, something for which Campaign Against Antisemitism, Lord Eric Pickles and others worked hard over many meetings with officials at Downing Street. Argentina joins a growing list of countries to use the Definition.
