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.

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.
