A resolution unequivocally condemning antisemitism and lauding the working definition of antisemitism of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance.
SRES 254 is a 2023 Senate resolution that symbolically condemns antisemitism and endorses the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's (IHRA) widely adopted working definition of antisemitism. It urges U.S. federal, state, and local governments, along with academic institutions and civil society groups, to use the IHRA definition as a standard tool for identifying and addressing antisemitism. The resolution specifically highlights examples of antisemitism, such as Holocaust denial, conspiracy theories about Jewish control, and blaming Jewish communities for Israel's actions. As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new laws or directly affect any group but formally supports the IHRA definition's global use in combating antisemitism.
