Kyrgyzstan Joins Six Nations in Condemning Nazi Glorification

Six countries, including Kyrgyzstan, condemned Nazi glorification at the UN Human Rights Council, emphasizing the importance of remembering the atrocities of World War II. They criticized any narrative equating the Soviet Union’s responsibility with Nazi Germany and affirmed their commitment to uphold historical truth.

Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan jointly condemned the glorification of Nazism at the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva. This declaration coincided with the 80th anniversary of World War II’s conclusion, emphasizing the grave injustice of promoting Nazi ideologies.

Evgeny Ustinov, a representative from the Russian delegation, stated, “We consider any attempt to glorify Nazis and their accomplices absolutely unacceptable.” He referenced the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg, which defined the actions of Nazi war criminals as criminal, confirming their responsibility for expelling and exterminating civilians, constituting genocide against Soviet peoples.

The statement described any attempts to assign equal blame for World War II to the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany as “immoral and blasphemous,” discrediting the memories of millions who sacrificed their lives to combat Nazism.

Moreover, the nations highlighted the importance of preserving the truth regarding their shared victory over Nazism, committing to prevent ideologies fueled by hatred and discrimination, thus safeguarding against any recurrence of such inhumane acts.

The joint statement from six countries firmly denounces efforts to glorify Nazism, reiterating the moral obligation to remember and honor the sacrifices made during World War II. It emphasizes the significance of accurate historical representation and the need to combat ideologies rooted in hate, ensuring that the horrors of the past are not forgotten or misrepresented.
