VOTING PRACTICES IN THE UNITED NATIONS 1994
VI - COUNTRY LISTINGS
The United Nations admitted Palau to membership in 1994, raising total
UN membership to 185.
This section pulls together information contained in previous sections,
and presents it by country for 184 UN members (all except the United
States). They are listed in alphabetical order, with Democratic People's
Republic of Korea under "D", Republic of Korea under "R", and United
Republic of Tanzania under "U", as they are seated at the UN General
Assembly. Western Samoa is known in the United Nations as Samoa and is
listed under "S". Each country listing contains the following:
÷ Summary coincidence percentages drawn from Sections II, III, IV, and,
for Security Council members, Section V. Coincidence percentages for
selected issue categories are included as a new item in this report;
they are derived by the same methodology used for overall plenary votes.
÷ Vote totals in the plenary and on the 15 important votes.
÷ Every vote on the 15 important votes (with the U.S. vote in
parentheses for comparison). Symbols used here are Y=Yes, N=No,
A=Abstain, and X=Absent.
÷ Averages on important and overall votes of the UN regional group and
other major groupings to which the country belongs. Averages on
inclusion of consensus resolutions as additional identical votes are
also noted.
