On November 4, 2022, 52 countries voted against an anti-Nazism resolution at the UN.
The resolution opposes the celebration of Nazism and has been met with major resistance from the US and other western countries.
The text condemning the glorification of Nazism has been voted on before and was only previously opposed by the US and Ukraine.
The draft resolution, titled "Combating glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to fueling contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance" was adopted with 105 votes in support.
There were 52 votes against the resolution and 15 countries abstained.
The resolution expresses concern about the glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism and former Waffen SS members, and condemns the construction of monuments and the holding of public ceremonies honoring the Third Reich.
A similar resolution was introduced in November of 2016. The US was one of three countries to vote against it. The resolution was approved by the U.N.'s human rights committee with 131 in favor, 3 against with 48 abstentions. Ukraine and Palau were the other no votes.
A similar resolution was introduced in 2021, before the military operation in Ukraine, but right after a US-backed coup had installed a government that allowed neo-Nazi groups such as the Azov Battalion, and lionized Stepan Bandera, the Ukrainian Nazi collaborator whose Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists was responsible for the massacre of tens of thousands of Poles and Jews during World War II.
Only two countries vote against the 2021 resolution condemning Nazism: the US and Ukraine. Forty-nine countries, mainly US allies, abstained.
The resolution on “Combating glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to racism, xenophobia and intolerance" was adopted with 130 votes in favor.
In December, 2021, NATO announced that NATO expansion will continue at the borders of Russia.
For decades since the Korean War (the last time the U.S. sought Security Council approval before going to war), the U.S. has been repeatedly committing the illegal war crime of attacking other countries that do not present any imminent threat of attack on it as required under the UN Charter.
It was the U.S. that helped orchestrate the 2014 Maidan Coup in Kiev that ousted the elected leader of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych because, while popularly elected, he was steering the country towards an economic pact with Russia instead of with the European Union.
