Resources and Guidance for
Policymakers
We help policy and decision makers tackle complex problems in their countries and organizations. The IHRA’s experts develop practical tools that serve as starting points for action.

Discover all the resources, guidance and other tools we have produced for policymakers.
Why we work with policymakers
Policy based on evidence and research has the greatest impact. We bridge the gap between policymakers and experts, empowering key decision makers to build a world that remembers the Holocaust, a world without genocide.
Protect the Facts campaign
Holocaust distortion doesn’t stop at national borders, nor is it found only in one language. International cooperation is essential to countering it.
The Protect the Facts campaign is an IHRA joint initiative with the European Commission, the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR), the United Nations, and UNESCO.
The campaign aims to raise awareness of Holocaust distortion – both how to recognize it and how to counter it.
