Acting on the recommendations of its Second Committee (Economic and Financial) and Third Committee (Social, Humanitarian and Cultural), the General Assembly today adopted a total of 99 resolutions and 3 decisions on items ranging from permanent sovereignty of the Palestinian people and eradicating poverty to combating glorification of Nazism and plight of refugees.
Notes with alarm that the Russian Federation has sought to justify its territorial aggression against Ukraine on the purported basis of eliminating neo-Nazism, and underlines that the pretextual use of neo-Nazism to justify territorial aggression seriously undermines genuine attempts to combat neo-Nazism
Numerous delegates — including from Venezuela, Cuba, Belarus, Zimbabwe and China — disassociated from operative paragraph 4, as it politicizes the issue of elimination of racism, while introducing a country-specific approach to a thematic resolution.
The delegation of Spain, speaking on behalf of the European Union, in its capacity as observer, noted the Russian Federation’s aggression against Ukraine and its continued use of United Nations forums for its own purposes. There should be no doubt that the European Union is committed to the global fight against racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance. These issues deserve a meaningful discussion.
The function of the UN general assembly is to act as an open forum for nations. The accusation is about as absurd as accusing me of wearing clothes. Yes, I am wearing them as that's the intended function.
i wonder which country wanted to add paragraph 4
