Empowering Transatlantic Civil Society Responses to Online Antisemitism Across Latin America

LATIN AMERICA - The World Jewish Congress partnered with UNESCO, the Latin American Jewish Congress, B’nai B’rith International, and the Institute for Strategic Dialogue to organize a training addressing the rise of antisemitism online in Latin America following the Hamas-perpetrated terrorist attack on October 7th.

In his keynote remarks, Ambassador Federico Villegas, former Permanent Representative of Argentina to International Organisations in Geneva and former President of the UN Human Rights Council underscored the intrinsic link between the advocacy for human rights and the fight against antisemitism, saying “neither can one speak nor defend human rights without fighting against antisemitism, it’s as simple as that.”
