Colombia has become the latest country to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Working Definition of Antisemitism, in a move announced by President Iván Duque last week.

"We reaffirm the values ​​of rejecting any form of discrimination," President Duque tweeted on Thursday.

Thursday's signing ceremony was attended by Organization of American States (OAS) Secretary-General Luis Almagro, who has urged all OAS member states to adopt the IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism and fight Jew-hatred in all its contemporary manifestations.

Nearly 1,000 entities — including more than three dozen countries — worldwide have adopted the IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism since 2016, according to a study published by the Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM) and the Center for the Study of Contemporary European Jewry at Tel Aviv University earlier this year.  https://combatantisemitism.org/latest-news/865-entities-worldwide-have-adopted-ihra-antisemitism-definition-since-2016-comprehensive-cam-and-kantor-center-study-reveals/

The non-legally binding  definition includes 11 explanatory examples detailing specific discriminatory behaviors targeting Jews and the State of Israel.  https://holocaustremembrance.com/resources/working-definitions-charters/working-definition-antisemitism
