Dominican Republic Announces Adoption of IHRA Antisemitism Definition
The move makes the Dominican Republic the seventh Latin American country to adopt the antisemitism framework, officials said.
- On Monday, President Luis Abinader announced the Dominican Republic will adopt the IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism at the Combat Antisemitism Movement's sixth-annual Latin American Forum Against Antisemitism in Santo Domingo.
- During the 1938 Evian Conference, the Dominican Republic offered to accept up to 100,000 Jewish refugees, a legacy that persists in Sousa, built partly by Holocaust survivors.
- Abinader also pledged 50 million pesos toward constructing a new building for the Jewish Museum of Sousa, supporting the local Jewish community of about 100 people.
- The Israel Foreign Ministry praised the move, calling the IHRA definition "an essential tool for identifying and combating antisemitism in all its forms," as the Dominican Republic becomes the 7th Latin American country to adopt it.
- Ambassador Rabbi Yehuda Kaploun and the United States continue working to bring more Latin American nations into the IHRA fold, coordinating closely with Argentina as progress is expected soon.
