In fact, the resolution expresses concern over the fact that a range of countries glorify the Nazi movement and honour former SS members, while monuments to those who fought against fascism are pulled down or desecrated. The document also calls on the states to adopt corresponding legislative measures which would ban rejection of crimes against humanity and military crimes during the WWII.
The US' stance is of no surprise. As it is known, a lot of former Nazi criminals have taken refuge namely in this country. The US Department of Justice has been reaching deals with Nazis residing in the country for decades, according to which they obliged to leave the US and refuse the American citizenship in return for a promise that they would not be deprived of the US pension. Some of them now live in Europe and still get the US social allowances.
