The aim of the German government to tie state funding for culture and science to the IHRA definition of antisemitism has drawn criticism for potentially undermining democratic principles.
Critics argue that the resolution not only risks infringing on fundamental rights but may also lead to legal uncertainty, making many organizations hesitant to apply for funding.
Amnesty International Germany has expressed concerns that while the resolution aims to combat antisemitism, its current form raises significant risks for human rights violations.
The anticipated vote on the resolution on November 7, 2024, represents a critical moment in Germany's approach to addressing rising antisemitism amid deep societal divisions.
