In 2013, every federal coalition parliamentarian signed the London declaration. The declaration calls upon governments, parliaments, international institutions, NGOs and civil society to affirm democratic and human values, build societies based on respect and citizenship, and combat any manifestation of anti-Semitism or discrimination. The London declaration endorses the European Union monitoring mission's working definition of anti-Semitism, which is the predecessor to the working definition of anti-Semitism adopted in May 2016 by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance, an international organisation of 31 democratic countries, that is set out in this motion. The government completely condemns anti-Semitism.
