It was developed during the second annual Conference and Summit of the Inter-parliamentary Coalition for Combating Antisemitism (ICCA) which took place in Ottawa in November, 2010, by Parliamentarians and experts from over 50 countries around the globe.
[2] The first annual conference of the "Inter-parliamentary Coalition for Combating Antisemitism" was held in London, England in February, 2009.
The conference "provided the opportunity for delegates to explore data and exchange best practices to learn about the best ways to combat Antisemitism around the world".
The protocol deals with 3 fundamental issues:[1] We are concerned that, since the London Conference in February 2009, there continues to be a dramatic increase in recorded Antisemitic hate crimes and attacks targeting Jewish persons and property, and Jewish religious, educational and communal institutions.
