Adoption of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of Antisemitism

18/10/2019 - Adoption of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of Antisemitism

 

RESOLVED:

That Full Council agreed to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of Anti-Semitism along with the accompanying illustrative examples.

Reason:

As a measure that supports the Council’s obligations under the Equality Act 2010, and its responsibilities under the Public Sector Equality Duty, adoption of the IHRA definition of anti-Semitism contributes to the council’s approach to promoting equality and meeting its equality duties to the public, customers, contractors/suppliers and staff.
