i wonder which country wanted to add paragraph 4
Numerous delegates — including from Venezuela, Cuba, Belarus, Zimbabwe and China — disassociated from operative paragraph 4, as it politicizes the issue of elimination of racism, while introducing a country-specific approach to a thematic resolution.
The delegation of Spain, speaking on behalf of the European Union, in its capacity as observer, noted the Russian Federation’s aggression against Ukraine and its continued use of United Nations forums for its own purposes. There should be no doubt that the European Union is committed to the global fight against racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance. These issues deserve a meaningful discussion.
Because the US never does that, ever.
The function of the UN general assembly is to act as an open forum for nations. The accusation is about as absurd as accusing me of wearing clothes. Yes, I am wearing them as that's the intended function.
