ABOUT THE PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEE
AGAINST ANTISEMITISM
The Mission
The Parliamentary Committee Against Antisemitism is centred on the principle
that Jews in the UK should not be left to fight antisemitism alone. It harnesses the goodwill of parliamentarians from
all sides, and both Houses, in the struggle against prejudice and discrimination.
The Vision
As a registered All-Party Parliamentary Group with committed members
and an enviable reputation within Westminster and Whitehall for its impartiality, integrity and measured approach, the Committee
enjoys unique access and standing.
The Committee's purposes are to monitor and survey antisemitism wherever it arises;
to exchange information amongst national Parliaments, non-governmental organisations and the public; to consider and take
whatever action may be necessary to prevent further antisemitism; to promote inter-faith contact, dialogue and co-operation;
to organise conferences, seminars, visits and other activities as may be desirable to achieve the Committee's purposes.
Membership
of the Committee is restricted to members of Parliaments, and associate membership to ex-members of Parliament and distinguished
individuals involved in the life of Parliamentary and governmental institutions.
The Committee provides parliamentarians,
academics, journalists and members of the public with up-to-date information on antisemitism, antisemitic incidents and the
efforts being made to combat them in the United Kingdom and abroad. The Committee commissions research, holds events, arranges
briefings, publishes bulletins and provides a forum for debate and discussion on the subject.
