Emin Aslanov, First Secretary of the Permanent Mission of the Republic of Azerbaijan to the UN Office and other International Organizations in Geneva on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement Geneva, 19 March, 2021 Madam President, I have the honour to deliver this statement on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM). [...] We recall the Movement’s condemnation of all forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance, and express serious concern on the resurgence of contemporary forms of such abhorrent crimes in various parts of the world, which constitute serious violations of human rights and fundamental freedoms, as well as impede equal opportunity. [...] The NAM member States reaffirm their commitment to the full and effective implementation of the Durban Declaration and Program of Action of 2001, and the outcome document of the Durban Review Conference in 2009. [...] We condemn the glorification, in any form, of the Nazi movement, neo-Nazism and former members of the Waffen SS organization, including by erecting monuments and memorials and holding public demonstrations in the name of the glorification of the Nazi past, the Nazi movement and neo-Nazism, as well as by declaring or attempting to declare such members and those who fought against anti-Hitler coalit. [...] NAM recognizes the potential to increase the use of the new information and communications technologies, including the Internet, especially by national educational institutions, to create educational and awareness-raising networks and programs against racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance, both in and out of school.
