(Jewish Group) Israel pushes UNGA to condemn Holocaust denial
Israel is pushing the United Nations General Assembly to condemn Holocaust denial by unanimously supporting a resolution it authored on the matter.
It wants the UNGA to take a stand on Holocaust denial on January 20, the 80th anniversary of the Nazi's Wannsee Conference which approved the extermination of the Jews in concentration camps.
"The passing of this resolution is of great importance so that the shocking phenomenon of Holocaust denial becomes a red line in the international arena," Israel's Ambassador to the UN Gilad Erdan told reporters on Wednesday.
The Israeli resolution "urges all member states to reject without any reservation any denial of the Holocaust as a historical event, in either full or in part, or any activities to this end."
It asks, "member states and social media companies to take active measures to combat antisemitism and Holocaust denial" through "information and communication technologies" and to facilitate the "reporting of such content."
