"Combating glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to fuelling contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance."
It passed, with only two countries voting against.
The US and Ukraine.

Actually, four countries formally voted against, with fifty three abstentions and six members not voting. Abstentions and non-votes are de facto ‘nays’, which tells me that this resolution was so problematic (and I confess that I have not read it) that nearly a third of UN member states couldn’t support it.
