Aberdeen City Council has unanimously backed moves to adopt the international guidelines on anti-semitism.
The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition was designed to assist law enforcement across Europe.
The matter was at the heart of a storm in the Labour party last year, and it was Aberdeen Labour’s Barney Crockett who yesterday lodged a motion to encourage the authority to adopt it.
He said: “Aberdeen City Council is proud of its efforts to tackle discrimination in all its forms, we celebrate our diverse community and we condemn racism and anti-semitism wherever it is found.
“As part of the council’s ongoing equalities work, we resolve to join with the UK and Scottish Governments and the major political parties in the UK in signing up to the internationally recognised International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance guidelines on anti-semitism.
“The council underlines its condemnation of all forms of racism in all its manifestations and adopts this definition of anti-semitism as the working model for challenging and confronting incidents of this form of racism.”
Last summer, the national Labour party was in a bitter row over anti-semitism.
While members accepted the definition in 2016, the party rowed over whether to accept specific examples of anti-semetic behaviour from the organisation.
By September the party said they had adopted all of the guidance.
