Voting Practices in the United Nations
Analysis by the U.S. Department of State

Voting alliances in the United Nations are of keen interest to many who deal with the function of the world body from either a scholarly or a policy perspective. Since 1983, as required by U.S. law from that time forward, the United States Department of State has issued an annual publication which reports that agency's perspective on recorded votes in the United Nations General Assembly and Security Council. Since the Department of State is closely allied with the administration it serves, when an administration changes, State Department documents can become difficult to locate even when they remain available in electronic format. The listing below privides links for all years we have been able to determine that electronic access is available.

For paper copies of these materials, held in many libraries for 1985 until 2006, see the main catalog of the library, or the Documents section if such materials are held separately. Years for 2007 and following are only distributed in electronic format. Cataloging data is as follows:
