On Monday the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution initiated by Russia against the glorification of Nazism.
The document was approved by 120 states, three delegations opposed it and another 57 countries abstained from voting.
"The
Russian Federation believes that the adoption of this resolution with
the broadest possible support from the member states will make a real
contribution to the elimination of racism, racial discrimination,
xenophobia and related intolerance", representative of Russia Vasily
Nebenzia stated.
The document, in particular,
expresses serious concern over the rise of extremist movements and
political parties who spread the ideologies of fascism and racial
superiority.
The resolution condemns the
glorification of the Nazi movement and former members of the Waffen SS,
including the opening and erection of monuments and memorials.
