UN General Assembly passes resolution against nazism

The UN General Assembly has passed a resolution against nazism, initiated by Russia. Any attemps to reconsider the history of  WWII and the Nurnberg decision will be a violation of the UN Charter, ITAR-TASS reports.

The resolution received 120 votes for and 22 against, with 31 states abstaining. The number of co-authors of the resolution increased from 31 to 37 compared with 2010.

Russian representative to the UN Grigory Lukyantsev says that it is a matter of political correctness. It will be connected with article 4 of the international convention against all forms of discrimination.
