Can you provide a source for the vote? The best I can find is 78/190 from last year (source: https://research.un.org/en/docs/ga/quick/regular/78) and that resolution had contained this unfortunate clause, which many of the countries had spoken after their vote to disassociate from:
- Notes with alarm that the Russian Federation has sought to justify its territorial aggression against Ukraine on the purported basis of eliminating neo-Nazism, and underlines that the pretextual use of neo-Nazism to justify territorial aggression seriously undermines genuine attempts to combat neo-Nazism;
Excerpt of China's statement, for instance:
We are deeply concerned about the practice by a small number of countries of politicizing certain agenda items in the Third Committee. In view of that, China dissociates itself from the consensus on paragraph 4 of resolution 78/190.
In addition, that vote doesn't match the map you provide.
Also the United States' remarks on 78/190 were very telling:
We also do not need to repeat our long-standing position on this annual resolution. We have been one of several countries to vote against it from the very beginning.
Oh, got it, it's a Third Committee vote. UN press release: https://press.un.org/en/2024/gashc4428.doc.htm
Disappointing they had to add paragraph 4 again
Serbia earned my respect, everyone else is a lapdog of the americans.
Canada’s excuse for voting “no” is because they believe it would help “legitimize” Russia’s special military operation, they think its too convenient for this resolution to be brought up now (and I believe it was also Russia who made the resolution). This is not defending Canada btw
Them voting against it further legitimizes it imo.
Honestly? I agree lol

Their whole "b-but Russia" excuse for voting no is what's called a genetic fallacy. There is never an excuse for defending nazism.
Many white gentiles will tell you that they oppose Nazism if you ask them, but it quickly becomes apparent just by listening to them that their understanding of the phenomenon is very oversimplified.
i love when libs engage in braindead contrarianism, they might vote against a "communism bad" resolution if its Russia authoring it 😅
The funny part is that this supports Russia's case in the eyes of the rest of the world.
It's also funny, because the US representative takes time to explicitly point out that the US voted against this resolution since it was first proposed in 2005.
US remarks start at 1 hour 57 minutes here: https://webtv.un.org/en/asset/k1r/k1r1ng1nb2
Really blows apart the whole argument that this has anything to do with the war.
Fourth Reich in red.
Argentina voting 'yes' is such a curve ball ngl
hey they might fire the diplomat who voted
Considering their current government? Not really.
They voted in favour of combatting Nazism. That's what's surprising
Oh, you're right. Should've looked closer 😑
🤷 Micronations tend to lack de facto sovereignty, so they often vote seemingly against their interests at the UN.
There are more and more no votes every year... this is a really disturbing trend
