多米尼加共和国总统路易斯·阿维纳德已下令该国外交部将该决定正式化，该国将成为全球第48个、拉美地区第7个采用国际大屠杀纪念联盟（IHRA）反犹太主义工作定义的国家。
美国负责监测和打击反犹太主义问题特使、拉比犹大·卡普隆大使敦促其他拉美国家效仿多米尼加共和国的做法，并以特朗普政府在国内的相关举措作为国际社会打击反犹太主义的框架。
阿维纳德周一在由“打击反犹太主义运动”（CAM）赞助的年度拉美反犹太主义论坛上宣布了这一决定，论坛举办地位于该国首都圣多明各。根据总统讲话的英文译稿，阿维纳德表示，反犹太主义不应被视为仅影响犹太社区的威胁。他说：“反犹太主义不是只关乎犹太人民的问题。这是对民主共存以及我们所有人权利和自由的威胁。”

此次宣布之际，全球范围内对反犹太主义的担忧日益加剧。“打击反犹太主义运动”的反犹太主义研究中心监测并报告称，2026年3月全球共发生767起反犹太主义事件，平均每天近25起，较2025年3月增长32.5%。
卡普隆在论坛上称赞多米尼加共和国的决定是“历史性时刻”，并呼吁该地区其他国家政府效仿。
“今晚你们见证了一个政府站在正义一边，”他说。
“对反犹太主义绝不能妥协，”他继续说道。“我们将以身作则，采取积极措施保护每一个犹太社区。”
卡普隆将美国特朗普政府的相关举措作为其他国家政府在本国机构内打击反犹太主义的参考框架。

“在美国，我们有明确的行动方向，”他说。“我们正在追究大学的责任。我们正在起诉仇恨犯罪。我们已经修改了签证审查程序。我们已经退出了那些宣扬恐怖主义和反犹太主义的主要联合国机构。”
美国国务院自2010年起开始采用反犹太主义工作定义及相关指导性示例。2016年，国际大屠杀纪念联盟成员国通过了目前这份无法律约束力的工作定义。
国际大屠杀纪念联盟将反犹太主义描述为“一种针对犹太人的特定认知，可能表现为对犹太人的仇恨”。该定义进一步解释称，反犹太主义可能包括针对犹太或非犹太个人、他们的财产、犹太社区机构或宗教场所的言论或肢体表现形式。
这份无法律约束力的定义及配套示例旨在帮助各国政府、执法机构、大学和其他机构识别当代反犹太主义表现形式，并更一致地应对相关事件。

配套示例涵盖了大屠杀否认、关于犹太势力的阴谋论、将以色列的行为归咎于全体犹太人、对以色列适用其他民主国家无需遵守的双重标准等行为。
根据“打击反犹太主义运动”反犹太主义研究中心汇编的数据，截至2025年底，全球已有1334个政府、公共机构、大学、非营利组织、企业和体育组织采用或认可了国际大屠杀纪念联盟的定义。

阿维纳德在论坛上表示：“拒绝反犹太主义并不意味着在特定政府或冲突问题上站队，”他补充道，“这意味着明确表态：任何政治分歧、任何事业、任何情况都不能成为针对个人或社区的仇恨、歧视或暴力的借口。”
阿维纳德表示，该定义将为该国提供一个框架，在尊重言论自由和多米尼加宪法保护的其他权利的同时，识别和打击各种形式的反犹太主义。

“通过这一决定，多米尼加共和国重申了其对大屠杀历史记忆的承诺，对犹太社区的保护以及根除一切形式反犹太主义的承诺，”他说。“人类尊严不可分割，捍卫它不容许有任何例外。”
总统将这一决定与多米尼加历史上为逃离纳粹迫害的犹太人提供庇护的经历联系起来。1938年埃维昂会议后，数百名犹太难民在索苏阿建立了社区，得以重建生活。
阿维纳德还宣布，其政府将投入5000万多米尼加比索，用于建造索苏阿犹太博物馆的新馆，以保存这段历史。

一旦外交部正式敲定该决定，多米尼加共和国将与阿根廷、哥伦比亚、哥斯达黎加、危地马拉、巴拿马和乌拉圭一起，成为拉美地区采用国际大屠杀纪念联盟框架的国家。
这一决定进一步推动了该地区对该定义的接受度，可能为其他考虑正式识别和应对反犹太主义的拉美国家树立先例。

阿维纳德在讲话结束时呼吁该地区采取行动：“从这片在不同历史时刻提供过庇护和希望的土地上，让我们向整个拉美和加勒比地区传递一个坚定的信息：面对仇恨，绝不能袖手旁观。”
“愿本次论坛能让我们将记忆转化为教育，将教育转化为预防，将我们的原则转化为具体行动，”他补充道。

卡普隆表示，美国准备支持这一地区性努力，他代表唐纳德·特朗普总统和国务卿马可·鲁比奥向拉美领导人传递了直接信息：“美国随时准备支持我们的朋友，为打造一个人人享有宗教自由和自由的新拉美而努力。”

Dominican Republic joins global fight against antisemitism with landmark move
Nation’s move to adopt the IHRA’s working definition of antisemitism lauded by President Trump’s envoy as a ‘historic moment’

The Dominican Republic is set to become the 48th country worldwide and the seventh in Latin America to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s working definition of antisemitism after President Luis Abinader ordered the country’s foreign ministry to formalize the decision.
The move came as Ambassador Rabbi Yehuda Kaploun, the U.S. special envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism, urged other Latin American governments to follow the Dominican Republic’s lead, pointing to the Trump administration’s efforts at home as a framework for confronting antisemitism internationally.
Abinader made the announcement Monday at the Combat Antisemitism Movement-sponsored annual Latin American Forum Against Antisemitism in the nation’s capital, Santo Domingo. According to an English translation of the president’s remarks, Abinader said antisemitism should not be viewed as a threat affecting only Jewish communities. “Antisemitism is not a problem that concerns only the Jewish people,” he said. “It is a threat to democratic coexistence and to the rights and freedoms of us all.”

The announcement comes amid heightened concern over antisemitism worldwide. The Combat Antisemitism Movement’s Antisemitism Research Center monitored and reported 767 antisemitic incidents globally in March 2026, an average of nearly 25 incidents per day and a 32.5% increase compared with March 2025.
Kaploun praised the Dominican Republic’s decision at the conference as a “historic moment” and called on other governments across the region to follow its lead.
“What you have witnessed tonight is a government standing up for what is right,” he said.
“There cannot be any compromise with antisemitism,” he continued. “We will lead by example, and we will take positive steps to protect every Jewish community.”
Kaploun pointed to the Trump administration’s efforts in the United States as a framework other governments could use to confront antisemitism within their own institutions.
‘NOT ON OUR WATCH’: GLOBAL LAW ENFORCEMENT LEADERS UNITE IN POLAND AGAINST HATE

“In America, we have our marching orders,” he said. “We are holding universities accountable. We are prosecuting hate crimes. We have changed our visa vetting programs. We have withdrawn from major U.N. bodies that have promoted terrorism and antisemitism.”
The U.S. State Department has used a working definition of antisemitism, together with guiding examples, since 2010. In 2016, the IHRA’s member countries adopted the current non-legally binding working definition.
The IHRA describes antisemitism as “a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews.” It further explains that antisemitism can include rhetorical or physical manifestations directed against Jewish or non-Jewish individuals, their property, Jewish community institutions or religious facilities.
Its non-legally binding definition and accompanying examples are intended to help governments, law enforcement agencies, universities and other institutions identify contemporary manifestations of antisemitism and respond to incidents more consistently.

The accompanying examples address conduct including Holocaust denial, conspiracy theories about Jewish power, holding Jewish people collectively responsible for Israel’s actions and applying standards to Israel that are not demanded of other democratic nations.
As of the end of 2025, 1,334 governments, public institutions, universities, nonprofit organizations, corporations and sports organizations worldwide had adopted or endorsed the IHRA definition, according to data compiled by the Combat Antisemitism Movement’s Antisemitism Research Center.

Abinader told the conference that, “Rejecting antisemitism does not mean taking a position regarding a particular government or conflict,” he added. “It means stating unequivocally that no political disagreement, no cause and no circumstance can justify hatred, discrimination, or violence against an individual or a community.”
Abinader said the definition would provide the country with a framework for identifying and combating different forms of antisemitism while respecting freedom of expression and other rights protected by the Dominican Constitution.

“Through this decision, the Dominican Republic reaffirms its commitment to the memory of the Holocaust, to the protection of Jewish communities and to the eradication of antisemitism in all its forms,” he said. “Human dignity is indivisible and its defense admits no exceptions.”
The president connected the decision to the Dominican Republic’s history of offering refuge to Jews fleeing Nazi persecution. Following the 1938 Évian Conference, hundreds of Jewish refugees established a community in Sosúa, where they were able to rebuild their lives.
Abinader also announced that his government would commit 50 million Dominican pesos toward constructing a new building for the Jewish Museum of Sosúa to preserve that history.

Once the Foreign Ministry formalizes the decision, the Dominican Republic will join Argentina, Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Panama and Uruguay as the Latin American countries that have embraced the IHRA framework.
The decision adds to growing regional acceptance of the definition and could set a precedent for additional Latin American governments considering how to formally identify and address antisemitism.

Abinader concluded his remarks with a call for the region to act: “From this land, which at different moments in its history has offered refuge and hope, let us send a firm message throughout Latin America and the Caribbean: Indifference must never prevail in the face of hatred.”
“May this forum enable us to turn memory into education; education into prevention; and our principles into concrete action,” he added.

Kaploun framed that regional effort as one the United States is prepared to support, saying he was representing President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in delivering a direct message to Latin American leaders: “America stands ready to support our friends in this effort to bring a new Latin America with religious liberty and freedom for everybody.”
