United Nations Secretary General António Guterres has named Miguel Morantinos, the High Representative for the UN Alliance of Civilizations, as the first-ever UN Focal Point to monitor anti-Semitism.

In his new position, Morantinos – a former Spanish foreign minister – will be responsible for enhancing a system-wide response at the United Nations to longstanding anti-Semitism.

The Combat Anti-Semitism Movement applauded the appointment.

"The importance of this role is reflected by the wealth of high-level experience and prominent leadership" exhibited by Morantinos, said CAM director Sacha Roytman-Dratwa.

"The fight against anti-Semitism has never been more urgent. The rise in attacks across the world has reached truly worrying proportions," he continued. "By appointing an anti-Semitism envoy, the United Nations is sending a very important message to the world that tackling hatred against Jews is very much a global priority."
