HomeHandbook for the practical use of the IHRA working definition of antisemitism
Publication metadata
The non-legally binding International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance working definition of antisemitism has become a widely used definition of antisemitism across the world. Since its adoption by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance in 2016 to guide the IHRA in its work, dozens of countries, cities, government institutions, universities, civil society organisations and sport clubs have used the definition as a resource in projects that seek to educate on the ways that antisemitism appears, as well as for initiatives focused on recognising and countering manifestations of antisemitism. The purpose of this guidance is: to present the IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism, along with guiding examples, and to relate these to the contexts of real-world antisemitic incidents and crimes; to illustrate good practices in the application of the IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism and to offer a checklist for using the IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism across different policy areas. The European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) has begun collecting information from EU Member States on how national, regional and local authorities use or intend to use the IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism, for its annual reports on Antisemitism – Overview of data available in the European Union.
