The Conference adopted a number of resolutions including:

The Human rights of the Jewish people

1. The policies of Governments in not recognising Jerusalem as the Capital
   of the State of Israel and the Jewish people – is an attack and denial of
   everything that Judaism stands for.
2. Statements that it is illegal for Jews to live in any part of Jerusalem
   or anywhere in the Land of Israel is a denial of the basic human rights of
   the Jewish people to live in their place of choice especially in their own
   Homeland.
3. These policies of Governments in Europe or anywhere in the world are
   advocating transfer of Jews and ethnic cleansing and are racist.
4. Policies which are completely unacceptably everywhere in the world
   unfortunately except when they apply to Jews.
