H. Res. 1449

                In the House of Representatives, U. S.,

                                                     November 20, 2024.
Whereas antisemitism is a threat to the fundamental freedoms, rights, security, 
        and diversity of all citizens, societies, and countries;
Whereas there has been an increase of antisemitic rhetoric and acts in many 
        countries around the world;
Whereas, in the months since the October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorist attack against 
        Israel, Jewish communities around the world have experienced a 
        significant increase in antisemitic threats;
Whereas, in the Berlin Declaration of April 29, 2004, participating states of 
        the Organization for Security and co-operation in Europe condemned 
        antisemitism and committed to take specific actions to combat it;
Whereas, in 2016, the 31 member states of the International Holocaust 
        Remembrance Alliance adopted a legally nonbinding ``working definition'' 
        of antisemitism, an important internationally recognized tool to 
        increase understanding of antisemitism;
Whereas, on May 25, 2023, the White House issued the United States National 
        Strategy to Counter Antisemitism, making clear that the fight against 
        antisemitism is a national, bipartisan priority that must be 
        successfully conducted through a whole-of-government-and-society 
        approach;
Whereas, on July 17, 2024, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the United States and 
        partners unveiled the Global Guidelines for Countering Antisemitism;
Whereas the Global Guidelines constitute a multilateral framework encompassing 
        12 areas of public policy, including: Jewish community protection, the 
        need for leaders to speak out against antisemitism, uniform collection 
        of data about antisemitism, and education of the Holocaust and Jewish 
        heritage;
Whereas the Global Guidelines include policies to monitor and combat 
        antisemitism that can be implemented and adapted to a wide variety of 
        national, regional, and cultural contexts; and
Whereas more than 40 states and international bodies have endorsed the Global 
        Guidelines for Countering Antisemitism: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) condemns the rise of antisemitism in countries around the world;
            (2) welcomes the Global Guidelines for Countering Antisemitism 
        unveiled by the United States and partners in Buenos Aires, Argentina, 
        on July 17, 2024;
            (3) calls upon states and international bodies to take action to 
        counter antisemitism, including by endorsing and embracing the Global 
        Guidelines for Countering Antisemitism; and
            (4) encourages greater action and international cooperation to 
        counter antisemitism.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
