I'm guessing, based purely on the countries highlighted, that this is a Russian sponsored resolution.
There are plenty of more genuine resolutions you could've picked, but they wouldn't have fit your narrative as well. Please don't launder Russia's lies just to embellish your point.
This is a weak ass excuse collaborator. You get the pit too.
The resolution was explicitly designed to justify Russia's invasion of Ukraine, an act condemned by 141 countries (ES-11/1) including many that voted for the above resolution. Voting for a resolution condemning Nazi's, written by a Nazi regime and designed to frame their opponents as Nazi's themself ... I'll leave it up to you on how you would view that.
If you want to frame the West as evil, you can without being misleading, ES-10/21 is a resolution drafted by Jordan calling for the condemnation of Israel's genocide in Gaza. That was abstained on by most Western countries and voted against by the USA and Hungary. Many countries cited wanting an "explicit condemnation of Hamas" as their reason, and that is what I'd call a weak ass excuse.
The first instance of this resolution is A/C.3/68/L.65 from November 2013.
I did not know that and don't know enough to respond. I'll leave this conversation to the other guy who actually knows what he's talking about.

I would like to encourage more people on this platform to humbly bow out and respond with integrity when they don't know versus the "20 replies of arguments" that drown out the conversation. You might be correct but I think your response is in poor form (unless we're just celebrating being the lowest parts of social media).
And all it took was someone responding with actual information, instead of 20 people responding with a straw man attack.
You admitted you never even read the resolution in the first place, and just assumed it based on "Russia bad". No one strawmanned you, you just shout the name of random fallacies as a thought terminating cliche
Not knowing enough to respond never stopped you before, given you were making claims about the content of a resolution you admitted you didn't know the content of
