CIS states have urged the international society to develop laws of punishments for people promoting Nazism and offending victims of the Great Patriotic War, News Azerbaijan reports.
Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia and Tajikistan filed a joint message for the 20th session of the UN Council on Human Rights in Geneva on July 3.
Diplomats remind that attempts of certain political spheres to cast a shadow over lessons of the tragic war, falsify the moral and legal outcomes, equalize the victims and their executors, liberators and aggressors and cast doubts over the Nurnberg process are still common.
Such events form a basis for extremist ideologies, the CIS states say.
