RESOLUTION - Roma Solidarity

Original motion adopted at General Assembly on August 14, 2019 / Re-adopted July 31, 2024

EUJS believes that:

1. In our fundamental values, we believe in solidarity with other minorities.
2. The Roma community shares a history of discrimination and persecution with us.
3. In many countries, this history has never been fully acknowledged.
4. The discrimination and persecution of the Roma people is on the rise in Europe, and we see it as our responsibility to stand in solidarity with the Roma people and to fight their discrimination.

EUJS resolves to:

1. Recognise the 2nd of August as the European Roma Holocaust Memorial Day.
2. Campaign for national governments, as well as organisations and forums where EUJS is represented, to recognise the 2nd of August as the European Roma Holocaust Memorial Day.
3. Strengthen the awareness of the Roma Genocide, among both Jews and non-Jews.
4. To fight and campaign against the discrimination and persecution of the Roma people.
