      Seached and found that the European Union published an explanation for its vote on a similar draft submitted by 2022 by Russia.

      EU Explanation of Vote – UN General Assembly: Draft Resolution on Combating glorification of Nazism

      This both explain the EU’s rationale for not voting Russia’s draft, and explicitly condemn Niazism

      The European Union is unequivocal in its commitment to the global fight against racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia, anti-semitism and related intolerance. Our joint fight against contemporary forms of all extremist and totalitarian ideologies, including neo-Nazism, must be a joint priority for the whole international community.
