The Biden administration welcomes the United Nations’ release of a strategic framework for combatting antisemitism.
“The plan includes the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance [IHRA] Working Definition of Antisemitism and reflects key policies outlined in the Global Guidelines for Countering Antisemitism, which have now been endorsed by dozens of UN member states,” says a joint statement from US Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield and US envoy for combatting antisemitism Deborah Lipstadt.
“The challenge now lies in putting the plan into practice. The UN must demonstrate its full commitment to its human rights mandate and take concrete steps that will lead to tangible progress,” they say.
“The United States looks forward to working with member states to ensure that the UN’s strategy is not merely symbolic but instead contributes to a safer and more inclusive world for everyone,” they add.
“In that spirit, we have requested that the secretary general and Under Secretary-General Miguel Moratinos brief member states on next steps to implement the strategy.
