Urges the U.S. government to work with European governments and European law enforcement agencies encouraging them to:

  • partner with, share information, and train Jewish community groups to strengthen preparedness and response to anti-Semitic attacks and to support related research initiatives;
  • consider formal partnerships in the United States, United Kingdom, and France between government entities and Jewish community security groups as examples of such partnering;
  • support assessments of the environments of hate crimes and anti-Semitism, including analysis of crimes and law enforcement and community response, and cooperation between European governments and intergovernmental and inter-organizational entities, and use these assessments to adjust efforts to combat anti-Semitism;
  • help Jewish communities develop safety standards;
  • consider developing a standardized pan-European information-sharing and alerting system among governments, inter-governmental agencies, and Jewish communities;
  • work for the implementation of Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe declarations and decisions, particularly those focusing on anti-Semitism;
  • ensure that law enforcement personnel are trained to monitor, prevent, and respond to anti-Semitic violence, and that senior officials with commensurate authority and resources have been appointed to combat anti-Semitism;
  • integrate efforts to combat violent extremism and efforts to combat anti-Semitism; and
  • work with law enforcement associations and other relevant professional entities to combat anti-Semitism and to actualize the goals of this resolution.
