Ambassador Deborah Lipstadt, the U.S. special envoy to monitor and combat antisemitism, is scheduled to visit Argentina and Brazil from July 15-23, according to the U.S. State Department.
In Argentina, she is slated to appear at a forum with counterparts from other nations.
She also plans to attend the 30th-anniversary memorial for the 85 people killed and more than 300 wounded in the July 19, 1994 bombing of the AMIA (Asociación Mutual Israelita Argentina) Jewish community center in Buenos Aires.
Lipstadt and antisemitism envoys from a host of other nations will launch the “Global Guidelines for Countering Antisemitism” plan supported by multiple governments and international bodies.
In Brazil, Lipstadt will travel to São Paulo to speak with government officials, educators, human-rights organizations and local Jewish community members.
In related news, Sens. Ben Cardin (D-Md.) and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) announced a resolution in the Senate on Wednesday that seeks to continue the fight for justice for those murdered and injured in the suicide attack that has been linked to Iran.
