UNGA on Thursday voted by an overwhelming margin against the United States’ economic and trade embargo against Cuba, first imposed in 1960. A total of 187 States voted for the resolution put forward each year against the embargo with only the US and Israel voting against and Ukraine abstaining.
A day later, UNGA adopted a resolution condemning the glorification of neo-Nazism, racism, and other forms of hatred – despite opposition from Western countries which includes the US, UK, and Canada.
This resolution condemning “the persistence and resurgence of neo-Nazism, neo-Fascism and violent nationalist ideologies based on racial and national prejudice” was adopted by a vote of 111-50, with 14 abstentions.
Without singling out any country, the document further expressed “deep concern” about the glorification of Nazi figures and movements, including former members of the Waffen SS and other units that fought against the anti-Hitler coalition during World War II.

Clearly, it tells us that the US stands on the wrong side of history!
Yesterday, Celtic moved eight points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership after breaking down 10-man Ross County.
The hosts lost a player to a 10th-minute red card because of an ugly, mistimed tackle.
And which obliged them to retreat into a defensive formation, frustrating the champions until David Turnbull powered in a shot in first-half stoppage time.
The one-way traffic continued, with Luis Palma adding a stunning strike in the seventy-eighth minute and setting up a James Forrest header five minutes later.
Celtic visit Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday.
