U.N. Approves Israeli Resolution to Condemn Holocaust Denial [1]
On January 13, 2022, the United Nations General Assembly adopted Israel's resolution [3] addressing the problem of Holocaust denial. The resolution, “[b]earing in mind that Holocaust denial in its various forms is an expression of antisemitism,” focuses on the remembrance of the Holocaust as a key component in the prevention of further acts of genocide. The resolution continues all U.N. outreach programs on the Holocaust, as well as all relevant U.N. specialized agencies’ development and implementation of programs aimed at countering Holocaust denial and distortion. It also urges member states to develop educational programs that will inculcate future generations and condemn “those Member States which have actively engaged in preserving those sites that served as Nazi death camps, concentration camps, forced labour camps.”
