Western States Oppose Motion Condemning Nazism

The US, Canada, Germany and Ukraine have voted against the Russia-initiated resolution

A total of 54 countries, mostly Western states, have rejected a Russia-initiated resolution condemning Nazism in a vote at the UN on Monday.

However, their opposition did not prevent the Third Committee of the General Assembly from accepting the resolution, titled “Combating the Glorification of Nazism, Neo-Nazism, and Other Practices That Contribute to Fueling Contemporary Forms of Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia, and Related Intolerance.”

The document was supported by 116 countries, including Azerbaijan, Algeria, Armenia, Belarus, Bolivia, Brazil, China, Cuba, Serbia and Syria. Another 11 UN members abstained.
