LEGISLATION & PRACTICE
In order to afford large-scale, lasting protection to European Jewish cemeteries and mass graves it is crucial to ensure that there is a sufficiently robust legal environment – encompassing both appropriate legislation and effective enforcement. There also needs to be a clear set of standards on burial ground protection enshrined in a recognised code of practice incorporating religious, legal and technical considerations.
With this in mind, the Lo Tishkach Foundation is focused on high-level advocacy and awareness-raising activities to bring about the development of a more effective normative framework for burial ground protection.
A key aspect of our work in this sphere is a research project aiming to collate all legislation and practice affecting Jewish burial grounds throughout Europe led by the Foundation’s Research Co-ordinator, leading to the production of country-by-country reports. Copies of these reports are available to download from the Publications page.
In order to facilitate research and advocacy activities, all legislation collected is available for download from the Compendium of Legislation.
