UN chief welcomes General Assembly resolution to reject Holocaust denial

United Nations, Jan 21 (UNI/Xinhua) UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres welcomed a General Assembly resolution to reject Holocaust denial, said his spokesman.
The secretary-general welcomes the adoption by the General Assembly of the historic resolution which rejects and condemns without any reservation any denial of the Holocaust as a historical event, said Stephane Dujarric, the spokesman, in a statement.
"As the secretary-general has often said, we can never let down our guard in the face of increasing attempts to deny, distort or minimize the Holocaust. We must also adapt and respond to new forms of anti-Semitism fueled by ignorance or conspiracy theories, also circulating online," he said. "Today's resolution, adopted by consensus, makes it clear that all member states must condemn and actively combat Holocaust denial."
