Votes on the UN resolution A/RES/75/169 in 2020. "Yes"=green, "Abstained"=yellow, "Did not vote"=gray, "No"=black.

Combating glorification of Nazism is a series of UN resolutions voted on every year since 2012 in the UN General Assembly. The full title of each resolution is "Combating glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to fuelling contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance". The only country to have voted "No" all 9 times is the United States of America. Other states that have voted "No" are Ukraine (7 times), Palau (4 times), Cape Verde (3 times), Kiribati (once), and Canada (once).

Most European countries abstain every year, while countries in Africa, Asia and South America nearly all vote "Yes". Some countries choose to not vote at all, which is different from abstaining.
