From Voting records of the Third Committee:
Recorded vote on draft resolution A/C.3/77/L.5, as orally revised and as amended - Combating glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to fuelling contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance
Recorded vote on draft amendment A/C.3/77/L.52 - Amendment to draft resolution A/C.3/77/L.5
US and Ukraine voted no, on L.5. And yes on the L.52 amendment.
For reference:
The Committee then took up draft amendment โL.52โ, which inserts a new operative paragraph, reading: โNotes 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.โ
the pretextual use of neo-Nazism to justify territorial aggression seriously undermines genuine attempts to combat neo-Nazism.โ
You can only fight neo-Nazis if you leave it at talking about fighting neo-Nazis. If you actually go out and do any fighting then that's just counterproductive.
Huh, Israel voted "yes" on the L5?
Lol the USA is the literal 4th Reich. We took in the Nazis to fight communism. Call me crazy but I'm on board with business plot 2 being the JFK assassination, and everything working out on their favor from there.
People who live in this country have the audacity to say negative things about other countries

Was Israel the other country?
Is(not)rael
Fuck Israel!
Zionist trash heap
Hereโs the US lying through its teeth about why it voted no:

Smh so disappointing theyโre like โwell we have agricultural safety concerns and we arenโt sure that the policy would work as intendedโฆso let them starve instead nothing we can do so sadโ
Mask slipping moment there. I think their real motivation is more like this:
"We would lose global influence if food were a human right, as we heavily subsidise our food industry so we can export it for cheap, destroying local food production in other countries and forcing them to be reliant on our "humanitarian" aid."
Wasn't it basically trying to push IP rights and extra judicial arbiters on the other nations?
Yeah, that was part of it
Shows two voted against, but I only see one country in red, what is the second one?
The map doesn't show it, but I think it was Israel.
wait Taiwan is a UN member state?
Taiwan has a limited status in some international organizations under the name "Chinese Taipei" (this name greatly angers Taiwanese ultranationalists so I use it whenever possible), but the UN recognizes it as part of China.
There's a video of the UN voting on the PRC's membership to the exclusion of Taiwan, the entire room laughs when America casts its vote and there's an interview somewhere with a RoC diplomat whining about their "true democracy and freedom" despite the RoC being a one-party white terror regime.

Each gov't has a policy of not recognizing any state that recognizes the other gov't.

This is one of the greatest examples of virtue signaling I think I have ever seen. I'll ask three questions. If you can answer all three, I think the problem with this is very obvious.
Smear campaigns work better when they're not completely transparent.
EDIT: Yeah, you're right. It is obvious.
Myths of "Humanitarian" Intervention
CONTRARY TO POPULAR belief, U.S. leaders are no different from those of most other countries in that they have a dismal humanitarian record.
True, many nations including this one have sent relief abroad in response to particular disasters.But these sporadic actions are limited in scope, do not represent an essential policy commitment, and obscure the many occasions when governments choose to do absolutely nothing for other peoples in dire straits.
In addition, most U.S. aid missions serve as pretexts for hidden political agendas. They are intended to bolster conservative procapitalist regimes, build infrastructures (roads, ports, office complexes) that assist big investors, lend a cover for counterinsurgency programs, and undermine local agrarian self-sufficiency by driving independent farmers off lands that are then taken over by corporate agribusiness.
Every time I forget just how bad the U.S. is, I am reminded "death to amerikkka".
"Answer my questions three if the bridge you want pass ๐ค"
Virtue signalling is when you think people starving is bad and the more you think people starving is bad the more virtue signallinger it is
I donโt understand why everybody is downvoting you. Itโs a well known fact that throughout its 247 years of existence, the United States has literally never committed a single atrocity. Iโm not saying the United States is perfect; maybe it committed an atrocity or two a couple of times, but nothing that was a big deal.
There are the Indian Residential fake school genocide that continued after the Cold War, the subjugation of communities of freed slaves, the Black Wall Street massacre, the Cold War massacre against a mass of peaceful workers who demand meritocracy on the excuse that human rights advocate are evil Soviet agents, and the current planned illegal dumping of hazardous landfills and industrial chemical waste (which contains components of the chemical weapons by British in WW1) onto to the lands of First Nations and African American communities to poison the water and food sources.
slavery? never happened. native genocide? when did the settlers kill each other?
Only about 2.
US doesn't have 'aid', they call it 'aid' but is usually corruption money or loan.
For example, take a look at what is Ukraine getting. Not aid, most of it is some kind of loan.
I think definition of aid is that they don't own anything in return, but US is not using it like that.

Also this thread is a good summary: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1493599447904931847.html
In 2015, the Northโs net appropriation from the South included:
- 12 billion tons of embodied raw material equivalents
- 822 million hectares of embodied land
- 21 Exajoules of embodied energy
- 188 million person-years of embodied labour
To put these figures in perspective:
- 12 billion tons of raw material equivalents is 43% of the Northโs annual material consumption. In other words, nearly half of the Northโs material consumption is net appropriated from the South.
- 822 million hectares of land (more than twice the size of India), would in theory be enough to provide nutritious food for up to 6 billion people, depending on land productivity and diet.
- 21 Exajoules of energy would be enough to cover the annual energy requirements of building infrastructure to ensure that all 6.5 billion people in the global South have access to decent housing, public transport, healthcare, education, sanitation, communication, etc.
In other words, all of this productive capacity could be used to provide for local human needs, but instead it is roped into servicing capital accumulation in the North. Patterns of net appropriation reproduce deprivation in the South.
What bill needs to be footed? The vote was to make food a right, not force a single country to pay for the cost of food. Please learn to read and understand what you are reading. Worrying about a non-existent "bill" is purely ideological.
virtue signaling
voting on a UN resolution w/ all my friends to feed starving people just so I can post it on my hinge profile and smash better
@BossColo @CyberGhost We got a magat boys
Also, wtf is "virtue signaling"? Please define it.
