South Korea has adopted the International Definition of Antisemitism.
The news was revealed last week when South Korea’s Foreign Minister Chung Eui-yong informed Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid during a phone call that the country would be adopting the Definition.
Akiva Tor, Israel’s Ambassador to the Republic of Korea, tweeted the news and said that the two ministers “had a great conversation.”
Currently, South Korea is the first and only country in Asia to have adopted the Definition.
Campaign Against Antisemitism applauds the decision. 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. Last month, we reported that Switzerland had adopted the Definition.
Campaign Against Antisemitism has expanded our coverage of antisemitism worldwide. Please contact us if you would like to share feedback or volunteer to assist with this project.
