UN adopts Russia's anti-Nazism resolution


17.11.2017

wikipedia.orgCommittee of UN General Assembly adopted resolution compiled by Russia about fighting Nazism by majority of voices, TASS reports.

One hundred and twenty-five UN members voted for the Russian version of the document calling for fighting against glorification of Nazism and Neo-Nazism and other discrimination forms. USA and Ukraine voted against the resolution as it was last year. US called for radical changes of the wording and some articles, however their amendments were declined. Unfortunately, more than fifty countries including EU members, abstained from voting. More than fifty countries such as Belorussia, India, Kazakhstan, Serbia and others were co-authors of this resolution.

The document expresses deep concern about glorification of Nazis in some countries and attempts to eliminate and dismantle monuments in honor of fighters against Fascism. It is noteworthy that American delegation proposed to delete an article about frequent facts of desecration and destruction of military memorials and monuments, but their proposal was declined.

Authors of the resolution attracted UN members’ attention to growth of popularity of radical parties noting that some of them are included in the parliament already. General Assembly of the United Nations called for prohibition of reconsideration of World War II outcome.

The resolution will be considered at the Plenary Session of UN General Assembly.
