The speech of the director of the DMHR of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Commissioner of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs for Human Rights, Democracy and the Rule of Law G.E. Lukyantsev in voting on the proposed resolution of the Third Committee of the 81st Session of the United Nations General Assembly "Combating the glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism and other methods that contribute to the escalation of modern forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance."
New York, November 10, 2026.
The delegation of the Russian Federation has the honor to present, on behalf of 45 co-authors from all regions of the world, the traditional draft resolution "Combating the glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism and other methods that contribute to the escalation of modern forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related xenophobia".
This year marks the 80th anniversary of the verdict of the Nuremberg Tribunal, which determined once and for all those who fought alongside the forces of good in World War II, and those who promoted the theory of racial superiority, the ideology of misanthropy, and committed war crimes, crimes against peace and humanity.
The conclusions of Nuremberg are unquestionable and irrevocable. The member countries of the anti-Hitler coalition adopted the historical name "United Nations", won a great victory in World War II and created the current United Nations.
However, even today the meaning of the victory and the Nuremberg decisions are disputed for the sake of "political expediency". We often hear statements and chants that coincide with the slogans of National Socialism.
As a result, the shadow of Nazism once again covers entire cities and countries. They try to present those who collaborated with the Nazis and committed war crimes and crimes against humanity as national heroes and participants in national liberation movements. They are applauded in parliament.
