II THE THIRTY-EIGHTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY: ALL VOTES ~--...--
A Note on Methodology The tables contained in this section reflect percent coincidence of countries' votes with the u.s. in the 38th UN General Assembly Plenary. This coincidence takes into account all recorded votes, including procedural motions and paragraph votes, which occurred in the Plenary but does not include issues approved without vote or by consensus. The percent coincidence is calculated on the basis of Yes/No votes only and does not take into account abstentions or absences. This method provides less distortion than any alternative. Table 1 is broken down according to geographical regions. Tables 2-9 reflect voting coincidence according to significant regional or political groupings.
