11/20/2025
IU McKinney Professor Robert Katz delivered a keynote address at the International Prosecutors Summit on Antisemitism, which took place at The Hague. The event brought together prosecutors and lawyers from 33 European countries to meet and exchange knowledge and experience on the criminal law approach to antisemitism.
Professor Katz spoke about the differences in the legal frameworks surrounding hate speech in Germany, Canada, and the United States, and what can be learned from important cases from the past. He is the author of the book, Antisemitism and the Law, published by Carolina Academic Press. The book is a resource for understanding the legal history of antisemitism and legal strategies to combat it. It explores how legal systems have been wielded both to oppress Jews and to fight antisemitism, offering a global and historical perspective on the intersection of law and antisemitism.
Professor Katz is a member of the ABA Presidential Task Force to Combat Antisemitism, and founder and director of the Center for the Study of Antisemitism and the law, a nonprofit organization to promote research and education at the intersection of law and antisemitism. He also is president of the IU Indianapolis Jewish Faculty and Staff Council.
