The refusal of some countries, especially the USA and Ukraine, to support Russia’s resolutions at the UN General Assembly on combating the glorification of Nazism shows the double standards of these countries. This view was expressed in an interview “Lente.ru” said Alexey Chepa, Deputy Chairman of the International Relations Committee.
Almost the entire world now supports the resolution, the official noted, and only a few countries that continue to focus on Nazism voted against it.
19 December UN General Assembly accepted Russian decision on the fight against the glorification of Nazism.
The document recommends that countries review the history and consequences of the Second World War and take appropriate specific legal and educational measures, in accordance with their international human rights obligations, to prevent the denial of crimes against humanity and war crimes committed during that war.
Previously Russian President Vladimir Putin stated To the prime ministers of the CIS countries about the importance of combating distortion of history.
