    All states that have voted against have put out similar statements, saying they agree with the sentiment but not with the resolution itself

    Yet none of them put up their own versions.

    • No, because they feel like this resolution that Russia puts up every year is basically performative and unnecessary, as the resolution text basically says “let’s remain committed to fighting Nazism”, which they weren’t going to stop doing anyway.

      It’s a bit like how putting up a resolution “against murder” every year seems like a bit of a performative waste of time. No state was going to say “well ackshually, Nazism was a pretty sweet gig”.

        So instead of saying. “Yes, whatever, murdering is ofc wrong, here’s my vote” you keep coming up with convoluted statements about “black and white” and bending over backwards to explain why you don’t actually condemn murder?

        Haven’t it ever occurred to you, that they could have voted “yes” and THEN issued a statement that “it does not absolve Russia…” etc.? Try to think why they haven’t done that will you?

        Except the resolution is necessary because the US and EU keep arming, funding and supporting literal Nazis. You do need resolutions against murder when you have people who refuse to acknowledge that murder is happening and continue support murderers.
