Panama adopts International Definition of Antisemitism
Panama has adopted the International Definition of Antisemitism.
The official adoption was held at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in Panama City, and attended by Janaina Tewaney, the Minister of Foreign Affairs; Itai Bardov, the Israeli Ambassador to Panama; Dr Fernando Lottenberg, the Commissioner of the Organisation of American States for monitoring and combating antisemitism; as well as a number of Jewish communal leaders.
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.
Panama joins a growing list of national governments and public bodies to use the Definition.
