The UN General Assembly on the initiative of Russia adopted a resolution on the fight against the glorification of Nazism, according to the organization's website. The document was supported by 133 countries, 52 abstained, and
the United States and Ukraine opposed it.
The resolution expresses alarm at the proliferation of various extremist political parties, movements, ideologies, as well as racist and xenophobic groups that promote the Nazi movement, neo-Nazism and the activities of former members of the Waffen SS, including through the construction of monuments and memorials.
"The General Assembly recommends that States, civil society and other relevant stakeholders use all opportunities, including those provided by the Internet and social networks, to counter the spread of ideas of racial superiority or hatred, in accordance with international law, and to promote the ideals of equality, non — discrimination, diversity and democracy," the resolution reads.
The General Assembly also expressed concern about the increasing desecration and destruction of monuments to World war II heroes. The UN has spoken of the inadmissibility and the need to prevent such incidents.
The United States, in turn, opposed the resolution because it saw it as a "thinly veiled attempt to legitimize Russian disinformation" that neighboring countries glorify Nazism. Us representative Jason Mack said that the American side stands for freedom of expression.
Adviser to the Ukrainian permanent mission to the UN Igor Yaremenko, commenting on the rejection of the document proposed by Russia, said that it "has nothing to do with the fight against Nazism, neo-Nazism and other forms of intolerance" and is designed to hide the "propaganda motives" of Russia.
In General, the Representative of the State Department at the UN explained that only because of the terrible Russian propaganda, which no one in the West sees, the United States has to strongly approve and support the glorification of Nazism...
I understand that every state needs allies and even lackeys. But I don't understand why you need a fascist lackey.? Will you hire a proven bloodstained maniac with syphilis to take care of your children? So why does the United States vote year after year with Ukraine, the most corrupt and fascist country, against banning the glorification of Nazism? Some might think something suspicious...
