Russia proposed a resolution in the UN “condemning attempts to glorify Nazism ideology [sic] and denial of German Nazi war crimes” but not, however, attempts to glorify communism or the denial of Russian communist crimes. The proposal also called for a universal adoption of the “International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination”. This convention, among other things, calls for states to criminalize racist organizations and racist views.

RT notes that “Moscow proposes similar documents to the UN General Assembly annually.”
