The Global Student Forum has adopted the International Definition of Antisemitism.
The umbrella organisation – which brings together the world’s major representative students’ federations from 118 countries – adopted the Definition after discussions with the World Union of Jewish Students and the European Union of Jewish Students.
Campaign Against Antisemitism applauds the decision, which comes at a time of rising antisemitism and demonstrates the students’ solidarity with their Jewish peers across the world.
Britain was the first country in the world to adopt the International Definition, something for which Campaign Against Antisemitism and Lord Pickles worked hard over many meetings with officials at Downing Street.
WUJS is delighted to announce that, on the back of sustained dialogue between ourselves and the @GlobalStuForum, GSF has officially adopted @TheIHRA definition of #Antisemitism.
