IHRA Chair’s Statement Regarding Attack in Brussels

The IHRA expresses deep concern over the terrorist attacks which took place in Brussels on 22 March, expressing sympathy to the families of those who suffered in these hate crimes.

The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) was deeply saddened and shocked by the terrorist attacks which took place in Brussels on 22 March.

The IHRA would like to express our deepest sympathy to the families of those killed and injured in these hate crimes. The IHRA community stands with the Belgian delegation to the IHRA as well as all other affected IHRA delegations and our partners in the EU institutions at this difficult time.

We remain, as ever, committed to the tenets of the Stockholm Declaration which reaffirm humanity’s common aspiration for mutual understanding and justice. More then ever we strongly believe we must continue to work together as an international community and stand up  against extremism in all its forms.
