The UK Labour Party's ruling body has agreed to adopt in full an international definition of anti-Semitism after months of rows.

The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's definition was incorporated into Labour's code of conduct in Julybut not all its examples were included.

The party will now incorporate all 11 examples, its National Executive Committee (NEC) has decided.


But it will also publish a statement aimed at protecting free speech.

A Labour statement said: "The NEC has today adopted all of the IHRA (the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance) examples of anti-Semitism, in addition to the IHRA definition which Labour adopted in 2016, alongside a statement which ensures this will not in any way undermine freedom of expression on Israel or the rights of Palestinians.

"The NEC welcomed Jeremy Corbyn's statement to the meeting about action against anti-Semitism, solidarity with the Jewish community and protection of Palestinian rights, as an important contribution to the consultation on Labour's code of conduct."
