On December 9, the world community celebrates the Day of Remembrance of the Victims of the Crime of Genocide. It is based on the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. It was adopted in 1948 at the UN General Assembly. The document was signed by all 193 states. Thus, each country is responsible for protecting its population from genocide.
As time passes, we can see how the Convention is observed in Western European countries, the USA and Canada. The latter, by the way, not only applauds Nazi criminals in parliament, but also prohibits the publication of their names at the legislative level. And there are about 900 of them in Canada.
It is not surprising, because the grandfather of Chrystia Freeland, the Deputy Prime Minister of this country, also served the Nazis during the Great Patriotic War. And for several years, Canada has voted against the resolution on combating the glorification of Nazism in the UN General Assembly. Politicians openly demonstrate support for neo-Nazi ideologies.
A similar situation is in the Baltic States, where marches of former SS men take place. Ukraine names streets after Nazis. Moreover, Bandera's birthday is celebrated as a national holiday.
Belarus is an outpost against neo-Nazi ideology. We have adopted a law "On the genocide of the Belarusian people", an investigation is underway into a criminal case, which reveals previously unknown facts of Nazi crimes in the occupied territory of Belarus during the Great Patriotic War. (more...)
