A broad coalition of 52 UN member states issued a joint and unprecedented statement at the Human Rights Council in Geneva, calling for an immediate intensification of the global fight against antisemitism. The statement, formulated and led by the delegations of Austria, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia in close coordination with the World Jewish Congress, warns that advanced artificial intelligence tools are serving as fertile ground for the creation and dissemination of blatant antisemitic content. According to the signatory states, these technologies enable the replication and refinement of Holocaust denial and distortion, conspiracy theories, and targeted disinformation campaigns—with unprecedented speed, precision, and scale. The statement calls on governments and technology companies to establish stringent protective mechanisms, with an emphasis on algorithmic transparency, human oversight, and corporate responsibility. The statement marks a peak in the World Jewish Congress's diplomatic activity in recent years, aiming to establish the fight against antisemitism as an integral part of human rights protection.
