The Conference adopted a number of resolutions including:
The Human rights of the Jewish people
- The policies of Governments in not recognising Jerusalem as the Capital
of the State of Israel and the Jewish people - is an attack and denial of
everything that Judaism stands for.
- Statements that it is illegal for Jews to live in any part of Jerusalem
or anywhere in the Land of Israel is a denial of the basic human rights of
the Jewish people to live in their place of choice especially in their own
Homeland.
- These policies of Governments in Europe or anywhere in the world are
advocating transfer of Jews and ethnic cleansing and are racist.
- Policies which are completely unacceptably everywhere in the world
unfortunately except when they apply to Jews.
