Russia appreciates all nations who voted in favor of a Russian-drafted resolution on combating Nazism, regardless of the "blatant" provocations from certain countries, the director of the Russian foreign ministry's department for humanitarian cooperation and human rights said on Friday. Historic truth must be upheld, including at the United Nations, he added. Earlier in the day, the UN Third Committee adopted the resolution, which was co-sponsored by Belarus and Syria. The resolution was adopted by 112 votes for, with 50 against and 14 abstaining. Ukraine, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany and other EU countries were among those that voted against. The committee had also approved an amendment to the resolution proposed by Albania, Australia, Japan, Guatemala, Liberia, the Marshall Islands and North Macedonia. The amendment accuses Russia of "justifying" its "aggression against Ukraine" on "the purported basis of eliminating neo-Nazism." It was adopted in a 66-26 vote, with 67 abstaining.Russia Disappointed Over Canada's Vote Against UNGA Resolution on Combating NazismRussia is concerned by Canada’s rejection of the resolution advocating against the glorification of Nazism, the Russian Embassy in Canada published on its Telegram site on Friday.By these actions, the Trudeau regime violates international laws including the decisions of the Nuremberg Tribunal, it added.This action by Canada follows a recent mistake by the Canadian Parliament in celebrating former Nazi officer Yaroslav Hunka and applauding him.In September, Yaroslav Hunka, a 98 years-old Ukrainian Nazi veteran who fought in the ranks of the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the Nazi SS during the Second World War, was given a standing ovation by the entire Canadian legislature.

Russia Thanks All Countries Who Backed Anti-Nazism Resolution Despite 'Provocations'
UNITED NATIONS (Sputnik) - The Russia-drafted document "Combating glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to fueling contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance" and co-sponsored by Belarus and Syria, was adopted by the United Nations Third Committee with 112 votes for.
Russia appreciates all nations who voted in favor of a Russian-drafted resolution on combating Nazism, regardless of the "blatant" provocations from certain countries, the director of the Russian foreign ministry's department for humanitarian cooperation and human rights said on Friday.
"I would like to express my gratitude to all of those delegations who co-sponsored this important resolution and also voted in favor of its adoption despite all the procedural provocations that were blatant," Grigory Lukyantsev said.
Historic truth must be upheld, including at
the United Nations, he added.
Earlier in the day, the UN Third Committee adopted the resolution, which was co-sponsored by Belarus and Syria. The resolution was adopted by 112 votes for, with 50 against and 14 abstaining. Ukraine, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany and other EU countries were among those that voted against.

Russia Disappointed Over Canada's Vote Against UNGA Resolution on Combating Nazism
Russia is concerned by Canada’s rejection of the resolution advocating against the glorification of Nazism, the Russian Embassy in Canada published on its Telegram site on Friday.
"We are deeply concerned that consecutive Canadian Cabinets for decades have been harboring Nazi henchmen, Yaroslav Hunka among them, and turning a blind eye on continued praising their memory in Canada," the Embassy posted.
By these actions, the Trudeau regime violates international laws including the decisions of the Nuremberg Tribunal, it added.
This action by Canada follows a recent mistake by the Canadian Parliament
in celebrating former Nazi officer Yaroslav Hunka and applauding him.
In September, Yaroslav
Hunka, a 98 years-old Ukrainian Nazi veteran who fought in the ranks of the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the Nazi SS during the Second World War, was given a standing ovation by the entire Canadian legislature.
