Aprašymas

This section consolidates previous information, and presents it by country for 190 UN members (all except the United States). The countries appear in alphabetical order as they are seated at the UN General Assembly. Thus, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is listed under "D," Republic of Korea and Republic of Moldova under "R," The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia under "T," and United Republic of Tanzania under "U." The Democratic Republic of the Congo, formerly Zaire, is listed under "D." Congo (Brazzaville) remains at "C". Burma, which changed its name to Myanmar and is so designated at the United Nations, is listed under "M." Ivory Coast, which changed its name to Cote d'Ivoire, appears under "C." Each country listing contains the following: Summary coincidence percentages drawn from Sections III and IV, and, for Security Council members, Section II. Coincidence percentages for selected issue categories are included; they are derived by the same methodology used for overall Plenary votes, i.e., identical votes divided by the sum of identical and opposite votes; abstentions and absences are not included, nor are consensus resolutions. Vote totals in the Plenary and on the 14 important Plenary votes. Every vote on the 14 important issues, with the U.S. vote in parentheses for comparison. Symbols used are Y=Yes, N=No, A=Abstain, and X=Absent. Countries two years in arrears in payment of UN dues are not permitted to vote in the Plenary. For 2002, these countries included: the Central African Republic, Iraq, Liberia, and Niger. Neither Palestine nor the Palestine Liberation Organization has voting privileges at the United Nations.
