“Victory! The plenary meeting of the 76th session of the UN General Assembly approved the resolution proposed by Russia "Combating the glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to the escalation of modern forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance." Now pay attention to the figures: 130 states voted “FOR” the adoption of the resolution, 2 states voted “AGAINST” and 49 states “abstained”. Now, guess the first time, which TWO countries voted against the resolution, which outlaws fascism, prohibits calling fascists heroes, and calls to remember the results of the Nuremberg trials? " - wrote the press secretary of the all-Russian movement of the public movement "Immortal Regiment" Svetlana Keller.
The document, as RIA Novosti clarifies, is entitled "Combating the glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to the escalation of modern forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance." It recommends that countries take appropriate concrete measures, “including in the legislative and educational fields, in accordance with their international human rights obligations, in order to prevent re-examination of the outcome of World War II and the denial of crimes against humanity and war crimes, committed during the Second World War. "
The authors of the document strongly condemn incidents related to the glorification and propaganda of Nazism, including the application of graffiti and drawings of pro-Nazi content. The resolution urges states to eliminate all forms of racial discrimination by all appropriate means, and, if circumstances so require, by law.
In addition, the document condemns the use of educational materials, as well as rhetoric in the course of education, promoting racism, discrimination, hatred and violence based on ethnicity, nationality, religion or belief. The sponsors of the resolution also condemn the use of educational materials that promote racism, discrimination, hatred and violence based on ethnicity, nationality, religion or belief. The document calls for the elimination of all forms of discrimination by all possible means.
