Among the actions expressed in the resolution, it calls upon European governments to:
(1) acknowledge publicly and without reservation the anti-Semitic character of various attacks in Europe, especially during the first two weeks of April 2002, as violations of human rights;
(2) utilize the full power of their law enforcement tools to investigate the crimes and punish the perpetrators;
(3) decry the rationalizing of anti-Jewish attitudes and even violent attacks against Jews as merely a result of justified popular frustration with the conflict in the Middle East;
(4) take measures to protect and ensure the security of Jewish citizens and their institutions, many of whom suffered so grievously in Europe in the past century; and
(5) make a concerted effort to cultivate an atmosphere of cooperation and reconciliation among the Jewish and non-Jewish residents of Europe.
