ABA Section of Civil Rights and Social Justice 37d ago

Sponsored by the ABA Task Force to Combat Antisemitism In August 2025, the House of Delegates of the American Bar Association adopted a resolution endorsing the Global Guidelines for Countering Antisemitism—a legally nonbinding set of best practices adopted in Buenos Aires in July 2024 which has been endorsed by dozens of countries and multilateral bodies and hundreds of civil society organizations. As then-Secretary of State Antony Blinken noted at the time of their adoption, “The Guidelines identify practical actions that governments, international bodies, civil society organizations, and people of conscience everywhere can take against antisemitism wherever and whenever it occurs.” Accordingly, the Guidelines urge all states and international bodies, as well as civil society institutions, to implement a series of policies and practices to monitor, denounce, and combat antisemitism in all its manifestations. This one-hour webinar will bring together a distinguished international panel of experts to discuss the creation and implementation of the Guidelines, their role in countering antisemitism around the world, and what lawyers can do to help achieve their goals.
