‘The Unites States says it was one of three countries to vote against a United Nations rights resolution that denounces the glorification of Nazism and other racially-charged trends around the world.

Ukraine and the Micronesian archipelago of Palau were the other two countries that voted against the Russian-drafted resolution on Thursday.
