The delegation of Lithuania stated that, given the great losses the country had
sustained during the Second World War, it severely condemned Nazi crimes and ideology.
Lithuania had suffered from occupation and persecution by the Nazi and Soviet totalitarian
regimes. It cherished the memory of all victims of those regimes and paid tribute to those
who had fought against tyranny and oppression, including members of the anti-Nazi and
anti-Soviet resistance. The Criminal Code defined as a criminal offence the act of
condoning, denying or grossly trivializing genocide, crimes against humanity or war crimes
committed by the Nazi and Soviet regimes. Lithuania would continue to prosecute persons
suspected of committing crimes against humanity, regardless of the ideology underlying
those crimes or the flag under which they were committed.

from delegations and civil society representatives during it second review as an important
tool for achieving further improvements.
