But James Kariuki, the UK chargé d’affaires to the UN, said Britain continues to disagree with fundamental propositions of the text and was “firmly of the view that we must not create a hierarchy of historical atrocities”.

This does indeed invite a whole flurry of what-about comments and resolutions: "Are the Slavs getting a resolution? What about X, what about Y?"
