FOI Request - IHRA Antisemitism Definition

Request 101003851252

I would like to request the following information from under the Freedom of Information Act 2000:

1. Has the council formally adopted the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of anti-Semitism, including all 11 of the definition's examples?

2. If the answer to question one is yes, in what year was the IHRA definition adopted? If the answer to question one is no, is the council considering adopting the definition, and what reason has been given for it not being adopted already?

Response 02-10-2025

1. Yes, Moray Council formally adopted the non-legally binding IHRA working definition of anti-semitism. The definition is supported by 11 examples that serve as illustrations. It is important to note that the examples should take the overall context into account and are not an exhaustive list.

2. The IHRA definition was adopted by the Council's Policy & Resources Committee on 12 February 2019.  

To be helpful, the Committee Report can be accessed here: https://moray.cmis.uk.com/Moray/Document.ashx?czJKcaeAi5tUFL1DTL2UE4zNRBcoShgo=zaOjHiVwFf7LemIpdp8BRtzu%2fi2mvzsmR7LtLkrrKlDW8CYS7PqpnA%3d%3d&rUzwRPf%2bZ3zd4E7Ikn8Lyw%3d%3d=pwRE6AGJFLDNlh225F5QMaQWCtPHwdhUfCZ%2fLUQzgA2uL5jNRG4jdQ%3d%3d&mCTIbCubSFfXsDGW9IXnlg%3d%3d=hFflUdN3100%3d&kCx1AnS9%2fpWZQ40DXFvdEw%3d%3d=hFflUdN3100%3d&uJovDxwdjMPoYv%2bAJvYtyA%3d%3d=ctNJFf55vVA%3d&FgPlIEJYlotS%2bYGoBi5olA%3d%3d=NHdURQburHA%3d&d9Qjj0ag1Pd993jsyOJqFvmyB7X0CSQK=ctNJFf55vVA%3d&WGewmoAfeNR9xqBux0r1Q8Za60lavYmz=ctNJFf55vVA%3d&WGewmoAfeNQ16B2MHuCpMRKZMwaG1PaO=ctNJFf55vVA%3d
