    Wow, that’s weird. Was that politically motivated or what? I see the resolution was adapted on 2014-12-18, so some time after Russia illegally annexed Crimea from Ukraine.

        There’s gotta be a reason why countries like Germany or Sweden, or practically all of the western world abstain from voting on this.

      It’s a couple of things. It was politically motivated in the case of Ukraine’s vote (it was submitted by Russia) and the US has an intense dedication to freedom of speech that is almost unparalleled.
