I'm sure they wouldn't. However, what's disturbing are not the marches per se, but the level of support and participation those obscenities receive from the Latvian government. A bunch of senile fascists hardly poses any danger. But when those criminals are endorsed by the government, the murderers are no longer the society's outcasts. They are its honorable members, creating inspiration for people who just don't know any better, primarily the youth. Hence, the growing neo-Nazi menace

impossible to enforce. the problem isn't the intention of the resolution, but the
wording. you could outlaw neo-nazi organisations and then you would have a tool to prevent those parades,

*sigh*
Such resolutions are not designed to outlaw or enforce anything. Even though this resolution was passed, it is not legally binding. It's up to the individual states to take actions, if any, be it passing the new laws or better enforcing the existing ones. And in most cases, the latter would be sufficient

but outlawing intolerance is idiotic, because of the
impossibility to define intolerance in a legal way. it is a vague formulation that automaticaly leads arbitrary judging.

Who's talking about outlawing intolerance? Hate propaganda, on the other hand, is outlawed in all civilized countries. It's just a question of how to enforce this law effectively.
