IHRA is an intergovernmental organization which has become over time an international benchmark for Holocaust education, research, and commemoration; Romania held the IHRA Presidency between 2016 and 2017. The Malmo Forum aims to send a strong international signal on the need to employ all means in countering anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial, which are currently on the rise, as reprehensible and unacceptable phenomena.
