"A draft text on combating glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism and other practices was also approved by a record vote of 115 in favour, 3 against (Canada, Ukraine, United States), with 55 abstentions.
<...>
The Committee then took up a text on combating
glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to
fuelling contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and
related intolerance (document A/C.3/69/L.56/Rev.1).
Speaking before the vote, the representative of Ukraine said Stalinism had killed many people
in the Gulag, condemning Hitler and Stalin alike as international
criminals. Calling on the Russian Federation to stop glorifying and
feeding Stalinism, he said he could not support the draft text. Any intolerance
should be dealt with in an appropriate and balanced manner, he added. The
manipulation of history for one’s own political agenda was wrong, he said,
noting that the Russian Federation was supporting neo-Nazi groups and terrorist
groups in Crimea. The proposed draft resolution sent the wrong message,
he added, saying he would vote against it.
A delegate of Belarus noted the growth of neo-Nazi movements
that was occurring under the pretext of freedom of speech. She then
expressed her concern over the use of the Internet and social media to
propagate national superiority. As every fourth inhabitant of her country
had died in the Second World War, she reiterated the importance of the draft
resolution, and encouraged Member States to support it.
The representative of the Russian
Federation, making a correction to the draft, said that in the text
distributed by the Secretariat, some words had been omitted in the second line
of the last preambular paragraph. The words were “over Nazism”, and
should be included in the draft. He took the floor again to ask who had
requested a vote on this draft.
The Chair responded that it was the delegation of the United States.
Speaking in explanation of vote before vote, the representative of the United
States said she had joined
other countries in expressing abhorrence for attempts to promote Nazi ideology,
and condemning all forms of religious or ethnic hatred. Her delegation
was concerned about the overt political motives that had driven the main
sponsor of the current resolution. That Government had employed those
phrases in the current crisis in Ukraine. That was offensive and
disrespectful to those who had suffered at the hands of Nazi regimes.
Therefore, the United States would vote against the resolution.
The text was then approved by a record vote of 115 in favour, 3 against
(Canada, Ukraine, United States), with 55 abstentions.
Speaking in explanation of vote after
the vote, the representative of Italy, speaking on behalf of the European
Union, said the Union was committed to fight against racism, racial
discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance with comprehensive efforts
at national, regional and international levels. While States were free to
decide what to include in the draft text, he noted that the Union was concerned
about the sincerity of the text, as the main sponsor had violated the human
rights.
Also speaking in explanation of vote
after the vote, the representative of Liechtenstein, speaking on behalf of
Iceland, Switzerland and her country, said they were against all sorts of
extremist political parties, movements and groups, including neo-Nazis and
skinhead groups, as well as racist extremist movements and ideologies.
However, they had decided to abstain from voting.
Also explaining his country’s position
after the vote, Equatorial Guinea’s representative said African countries
knew well about racism and apartheid. His delegation had voted in favour
of the text, and wanted all sorts of Nazi groups to be labelled as terrorists.
The representative of Norway stated that her delegation had aligned
itself with the European Union statement delivered on behalf of the
representative of Italy."
