Summarized from i24NEWS English by baba
Paraguay announced on Thursday its plan to join the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) and adopt its working definition of antisemitism, becoming the eighth Latin American country to do so. The announcement was made in Washington D.C. with Argentine President Javier Milei in attendance. This move is part of a broader regional effort, led by the U.S. and Argentina, to increase IHRA membership and definition adoption. The IHRA definition helps identify antisemitism, including when criticism of Israel or Jews becomes hateful.
