EU expected to back UN resolution condemning anti-Semitism.
18.11.2003 European Union ambassadors to the United Nations met and considered backing a proposed Irish-sponsored resolution condemning anti-Semitism. If passed, it would mark the first time that EU nations have backed a UN resolution pertaining to anti-Semitism. Ireland annually submits a resolution condemning religious intolerance through the UN Human Rights Committee. This year, following terrorist attack on two synagogues in Istanbul, Ireland agreed to draft a new resolution pertaining solely to anti-Semitism.
Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom, during his recent visit to Brussels, lobbied for the addition of the clause condemning anti-Semitism to the UN resolution. Israeli diplomats to the UN have also lobbied for the addition of such a clause.
