The Council has told Campaign Against Antisemitism that it has adopted the International Definition of Antisemitism.
The Council said that the Definition was adopted on 16th April 2020.
As part of its response, the Council provided the motion of 16th April 2020.
The Council has told Campaign Against Antisemitism: “The use of the Chief Executive’s urgency powers were used to adopt the definition on 16th April 2020.”
There is no reference to the examples in the motion or Freedom of Information response and therefore we cannot assess with certainty whether the Definition has been adopted in full.
Campaign Against Antisemitism considers the examples to be integral to the Definition, without which an adoption is not complete. In a statement on 7th August 2018, the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance reiterated the integrality of the examples to the Definition.
This information was obtained after Campaign Against Antisemitism submitted a request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 on 18th August 2021, to which the Council responded on 24th November 2021 .
