The largest Latin American conference against antisemitism opened in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, with over 70 leaders from 19 countries, including nearly 50 legislators. President Luis Abinader announced the country's adoption of the IHRA working definition of antisemitism and the establishment of the first museum dedicated to Jewish heritage in the country.
The conference, organized by the Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM), brings together leaders from across the hemisphere to coordinate strategies against rising anti-Jewish hatred. President Abinader's announcement aligns the Dominican Republic with a growing list of nations that have formally adopted the IHRA definition, which provides a comprehensive framework for identifying antisemitism. The planned museum will be the first in the country focused on Jewish heritage and history. The inclusion of nearly 50 legislators from 19 countries underscores the region's increasing focus on legislative and educational measures to combat antisemitism.
