Working Together to Counter Antisemitism – A Global Human Rights Challenge

When: Wednesday, September 4, 9:30 AM – 12:30 PM
Where: Room XXII, Palais des Nations, UN Geneva

History has shown that antisemitism is often a precursor to other forms of hate. In this context, deeply concerned by the dramatic rise in antisemitism globally and its effects on individuals, communities, and the wider society, this collaborative workshop aims to provide an opportunity for human rights experts to discuss the critical issue of antisemitism with subject matter senior experts, fostering greater understanding and collaboration among international stakeholders. Through dialogue, we seek to strengthen global efforts to identify and counter modern forms of antisemitism and build a more inclusive and respectful world.
