Jorge Battle, the president of Uruguay, has signed a petition against anti-Semitism which will be presented at the United Nations General Assembly in September. Argentine President Nestor Kirchner and Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva had already signed the petition, which is sponsored by the World Jewish Congress (WJC). A member of the Latin American Jewish Congress, which is part of the WJC, called the meeting with Battle a "complete success".
