According to Ukraine’s permanent representative to the UN, Sergei Kislitsa, the decision to combat neo-Nazism is “a manipulation of the authorship of Stalin’s descendants.”
Russia supported the UN resolution on combating neo-Nazism, which it submitted to the UN 18 years ago. By doing this, he actually condemned himself, as the text of the document was changed to criticize Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. In this respect reported Permanent Representative of Ukraine to the UN Sergei Kislitsa.
While the resolution was adopted with 111 votes in favor and 50 against, Sergei Kislitsa noted that the countries “that suffered the most from Nazism and made a decisive contribution to its overthrow” voted against the resolution.
Ukraine’s permanent representative called the document “manipulation of the authorship of Kremlin war criminals, descendants of Stalin.”
Among those who voted against the decision were the USA, the UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Austria, Japan, Poland, Ukraine, Poland, Bulgaria, Romania, as well as the Baltic countries, Georgia and the Balkan states.
What is the essence of the amendment to the Russian resolution on the fight against neo-Nazism?
“Everything is not linear in the UN – the Russian Federation was actually forced to vote against itself by voting for this resolution after the Third Committee approved the amendment in which Russia was criticized as an aggressive country,” Kislitsa wrote.
In the text of the amendment, the UN General Assembly states that Russia “is trying to legitimize its territorial aggression against Ukraine by claiming to destroy neo-Nazism.” It is emphasized that such actions “undermine real measures to combat neo-Nazism.”
Changes were made to the text of the decision condemning Russia’s aggression in November last year. Later, Russia’s UN representative Vasily Nebendzia also had to vote in favour.
Sergey Kislitsa named 2022 vote on neo-Nazism’s ‘epic’ verdict.
Let’s remember that Russia was expelled from the UN Human Rights Council. The decision to suspend the Russian Federation’s membership in the HRC was adopted by the UN General Assembly with 93 votes in favour.
