Following the launch of the United Nations Action Plan to Enhance Monitoring and Response to Antisemitism, Sacha Roytman, CEO of the Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM), released the following statement:
“The UN was founded on the ashes of the Holocaust to prevent similar atrocities from ever recurring. Yet, over the past eight decades, it has failed its purpose again and again decades when it comes to protecting the Jewish people and state.
“High Representative Moratinos is a valued partner who we’ve been pleased to work with in recent years, and we welcome his efforts to fight antisemitism, including the building of the plan he presented today. Yet there is rightfully little trust in UN institutions to address and counter Jew-hatred effectively and properly, and adoption and implementation of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Working Definition of Antisemitism must be a central component of any serious initiative to do so.”
