International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance

The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance is an intergovernmental organisation that brings governments and experts together on Holocaust education, remembrance and research. Founded in 1998, it has 35 member countries. Its presidency rotates annually among those members, combining continuing institutional work with leadership shared between national governments.

the Alliance also works to counter Holocaust distortion and antisemitism. Its plenary adopted a non-legally binding working definition of antisemitism in 2016. The definition includes illustrative examples, among them denying Jewish self-determination by describing Israel's existence as a racist endeavour. Because the definition is guidance rather than law, its significance comes from providing member governments and experts with shared terms for identifying and discussing antisemitism.
